On Sept. 20, North Korean leader Kim Jong Un visited the sacred Mount Paektu with South Korean President Moon Jae-in, following two previous summits between the two leaders.

Standing on the beach with their wives, Kim remarked to Moon that “the Chinese envy us because they can’t go down to the lake from their side, but we can.”
