Minister Kim sympathized with Im Bo Bae’s anguish of displacement and her longing for her family and promised to do his utmost to address the issue of separated families, wishing her to stay in good health until the day that the promise is fulfilled.

Im Bo Bae thanked the minister for his visit and expressed her hope to at least find out whether her family in the North is alive or not.
