The end of the Korean War will be announced later this year, following an historic summit between the leaders of the two Koreas.
South Korean President Moon Jae-in and his North Korean counterpart, Kim Jong Un, signed the "Panmunjom Declaration for Peace, Prosperity and Unification on the Korean Peninsula," while standing in the demilitarized zone (DMZ) that has divided the two countries for more than six decades.

"The two leaders solemnly declare ... that there will be no more war on the Korean Peninsula and a new era of peace has begun," the declaration said.
The declaration also announced plans for Moon to travel to Pyongyang later this year.
"The South and the North will hold dialogue and negotiations in various fields, including high-level talks, as soon as possible, and take active measures to implement the agreed issues at the summit," it added.
"The South and the North will work together to mitigate sharp military tensions on the Korean Peninsula and to substantially eliminate the danger of war," the statement said.
"The South and the North agreed to cease all hostilities against the other side, which are the source of military tensions and clashes in all areas including the ground, sea and air."
"The South and the North will actively cooperate to establish a permanent and well-established peace regime on the Korean Peninsula."

For sure those conservatives lost the elections, doesnt means they are wrong about this "peace comedy".
South korean people are probably pissed off since a while now so they are trying something else: even if they know there's no solution...

Do you think KIM dynasty & associated military will quit their nuclear power ? yes or no ?

Both Koreas went into this meeting with nuclear proliferation as an understanding. It's extremely difficult to say how strictly it will be enforced, but it seems to be a stipulation to their agreement to end the war within 1 year.

I'm somewhat optimistic, but my real concern lies in dealing with the human rights abuses now. The theatrics overshadow the plight of the average North Korean.
