GOYANG, SOUTH KOREA - The smiles never stopped. They locked hands at least three times - once for as long as 22 seconds – and had a 30-minute one-on-one private talk. Then came the warm hug.

The first face-to-face meeting between South Korean President Moon Jae In, 65, and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, 34, on Friday (April 27) was a friendly, relaxed affair that set the tone for the full day of talks between them.
