In recent, it was reported that the leaders of these nations agreed with the implementation of the summit at Pyongyang. It will be held in this September, though the exact date is yet to be fixed. If realized, it will be for the first time for President Moon Jae-in to enter Pyongyang within this decade.

President Moon has been rather sympathetic to the North compared to previous leaders of South Korea. Therefore, this movement is not so surprising. Nonetheless, it is splendid that both nations are proceeding to understand each other.
I do not believe that, however, the Korean peninsula will be integrated. Both nations do not want to do it. For the South, North Korea's poor financial status will be too much burden to overcome. For the North, combined with the South means the North's extinction. Neither both nation will make an agreeable line. Broadening demilitarized area is a feasible goal for this expected summit. The situation is far different from Germany after the WWII.
Anyway, I expect the summit will be completed fruitfully for both nations.
