The two Koreas have completed their joint rehearsal for Friday's inter-Korean summit at the Peace House, on the South Korean side of Panmunjom.
The Blue House announced Wednesday that the joint rehearsal ran from the morning until two-twenty in the afternoon, without mentioning the exact starting time.
The South's delegation was led by Kim Sang-gyun , deputy director of the National Intelligence Service,... and the North's by Kim Chang-son , an official from Pyongyang's State Affairs Commission.

The rehearsal took place behind closed doors,... and Seoul's top office said the two sides checked all the facilities,... including camera angles, lighting, and the broadcasting system,... as it's expected that people around the world will watch the two leaders meet, live on television.

Though there were no stand-ins for President Moon Jae-in or Kim Jong-un, the two sides rehearsed like it was the actual summit and made full use of the only joint rehearsal before the big day. They exchanged opinions on specific scenarios and even held the rehearsal at the exact same time as Friday's summit.

With the inter-Korean summit being held for the first time in over 10 years, the South Korean government is doing everything it can to make sure that it runs smoothly.
