Literally all eyes will likely be on the upcoming summit between South Korean President Moon Jae-in and North Korean leader Kim Jong-un, with a record number of journalists from around the globe set to cover the event that Moon said could mark the start of the long delayed denuclearization of the communist North.
As of Wednesday, a total of 2,833 journalists from local and foreign news outlets have registered to cover the historic inter-Korean summit slated for next Friday.
Nearly 2,000 journalists from 168 local news outlets have registered for the inter-Korean summit, along with 858 from 180 foreign news outlets, Cheong Wa Dae said in a press release.
The total number is more than twice as high as the number that covered two previous summits between the Koreas held in 2000 and 2007, it noted.
