Welcoming the New Year,... President Moon Jae-in promised "irreversible" peace on the Korean Peninsula.
Through Twitter and Facebook the South Korean leader wrote he had "walked on the path of peace,... which the people helped open in the past year."
Moon added he will make sure there's irreversible peace that can improve everyone's lives.
Earlier on the first day of the year,... the president also went hiking with six civilians who made headlines in 2018 with their efforts to help out those in need.
Included in the group are those who helped save a driver stuck in a burning car and students who helped out a patient on the street.
