Kim Jong Un, the leader of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) and Moon Jae-in, president of the Republic of Korea (ROK) embarked on a rare trip on Thursday to Mount Paekdu, according to Yonhap News Agency.
The trip was designed to enhance their personal ties and also highlight the success of their summit in Pyongyang.
The leaders left Pyongyang's Sunan International Airport shortly after 7 a.m. local time, each using their own presidential jet.
They will return to Pyongyang later in the day when the ROK president is also set to return home.
