A South Korean man abducted by North Korea in 1978 will meet his mother from the South for the first time in 28 years.

Kim Young-nam is scheduled to meet his mother on Wednesday afternoon as part of an inter-Korean separated family reunion at North Korea's Mount Geumgang resort.

Known to have married Japanese abductee Megumi Yokota in North Korea, the 45-year-old Kim is expected to talk about his abduction, his marriage to Yokota and her alleged death. Pyongyang claims that Yokota committed suicide in 1994, but her family believes she's still alive.

North Korean officials say Kim and his present wife, their son and a daughter born from Yokota will also come to the reunion. A Pyongyang official reportedly said Monday that Kim will tell everything that the South wants to know.

The North is also known to want Kim and his mother to meet in a separate room apart from the other family reunions for the Wednesday group session and the Friday farewell session.

The 14th round of the Red Cross-sponsored reunions comes as a special event to mark the sixth anniversary of the 2000 inter-Korean summit.

The fourth and last group of a hundred South Koreans will reunite with their long-lost North Korean kin for three days from Wednesday. The families will meet individually, lunch together and enjoy an outing to the Samilpo lake resort on Thursday before returning home Friday.

KBS will broadcast the reunions from four p.m., Seoul time.
