Ahn Yoon-joon, 86, who has been selected as one of 90 participants of reunion, holds a confirmation document of whereabouts of his family members living in North Korea, speaks during an interview with Reuters in Seongnam, South Korea, October 13, 2015. The two Koreas, bitter rivals that remain in a technical state of war, agreed to hold family reunions for the first time since February 2014 after negotiating the end of a standoff at their heavily militarized border. The reunion of 90 South Koreans and 96 North Koreans, the 20th of its kind, will be held at a resort in the North, mostly in a large ballroom under the watchful eye of officials. The reunions are politically important for the South, where 66,000 people are on a waiting list to see long-lost relatives, a number that is shrinking fast, while the North also seeks to maximize their domestic propaganda value.
