North Korean leader Kim Jong Un’s summit with South Korean President Moon Jae-in has sparked a new trend: tourists are mimicking the historic handshake between the two leaders.
Images of Kim and Moon shaking hands in late April were seen around the world and now tourists are doing their best to reenact the meeting at a replica of Korea’s Truce Village, which is located at a movie set not far from Seoul, the South Korean capital. The site was built for the film “ JSA: Joint Security Area,“ which was released in 2000.
Those who want to visit the site to reenact the famous handshake will need to hurry, however, as the site is reportedly closing by the end of the month .
At the summit in late April, Kim and Moon pledged to work toward the total denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula and to sign a peace treaty formally ending the Korean War, which has technically been ongoing since the fighting stopped via an armistice in 1953.
