SEOUL - More than 100 South Koreans headed for the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) Thursday morning to meet their long-lost relatives in the DPRK's scenic resort of Mount Kumgang, Seoul's Unification Ministry said.

Accompanied by 58 family members, 82 elderly South Koreans, four fifth of them older than 80, departed as of 8 am local time from a resort hotel in the South Korean east coastal city of Sokcho, where they received medical check-up and training on the dos and don'ts while staying in the DPRK the previous day.

The South Korean participants, who were already picked by lottery last year, will go there to the reunion venue by bus on the inter-Korean road along the east coast, scheduled to arrive in the Diamond Mountain Hotel at around 1 pm.

In preparations for emergency, 12 medical staffs and an ambulance car accompanied them.

The elderly South Koreans will reunite with their long-lost families, or 178 people from the DPRK, for the first time in six decades.

Millions of Koreans have never met their families since the three-year Korean War ended with armistice in 1953. Since then, people in the two Koreas have been banned from exchanging phone calls and letters.

The first group meeting will run for two hours from 3 pm, and the welcoming dinner will be hosted by the DPRK for another two hours from 7 pm

The next day, three meetings will be held, including individual meeting, group lunch and group meeting for two hours respectively.

On the last day of the brief reunion, the war-divided families will have a one-hour meeting to bid farewell to their relatives, an expected tearful scene, before returning back to the Sokcho resort via the inter-Korean road at about 4 pm.

Seoul and Pyongyang have agreed to hold reunion of separated families from February 20 to 25. The agreement was reaffirmed during the senior-level talks between the two Koreas held last Friday. The humanitarian event will come in more than three years. The latest round of family reunion was held in November 2010.
