SEOUL, South Korea (AP) — A South Korean pop singer has belted out a beloved Korean folk song in front of North Korean leader Kim Jong Un and South Korean President Moon Jae-in at a crater lake atop a volcano North Korea considers as sacred.
Singer Ali was among the South Koreans who joined the leaders on a trip to Mount Paektu on the North Korean-Chinese border hours before they returned home on Thursday after three days of summit talks between Moon and Kim.
Ali sang a version of “Arirang,” used in both Koreas as an unofficial anthem for peace.
