So just to follow up on this. My wife is Korean, and her mother (who is in her mid sixties) still lives in Korea. So I asked her about all the peace talks and what her mother thinks. Basically, her mom, being part of the older generation, thinks its a sham, and that they have seen this again and again. They also think that since Moon is a socialist that he is pretty much willing to sell out to North Korea, and apparently there is also rumors that Presidents Moons wife has a brother-in-law who is related to North Korean leadership.

My wife also believes the peace talks are fake as well. I was a little surprised at how negativly actual Koreans (other than the very young <30) actually view this. I made a comment to my wife that they voted in Moon, but my mother-in-law pretty much says that the youth did that because they don't remember the war, or what communism was really like. Its funny, some things aren't so different over here. Even with Venezuela falling apart, people still think a socialist nanny state is a good thing.
