Through the recent North-South reunion which saw the coming together of over numerous separated Korean families, 85-year-old Lee Soon Kyu finally met her husband, 83-year-old Oh In Se, over six decades later. 

When the couple was cruelly split from the Korean war, Lee and Oh were the tender ages of 20 and 18, respectively. At the time, Lee was six months pregnant. 

According to a Hankyoreh article, Oh revealed it was love at first sight as he told his wife, "Come sit next to me," the very first time he saw her. Lee, who never remarried and had remained single all those long years, was said to have clasped a watch around her husband's wrist the moment they met. Lee explained, "Back then in the countryside, watches were very valuable. My heart always ached from the fact that I couldn't even give my husband a watch so I bought one [for today]."

Oh Jang Kyun (65), the child who was in Lee's womb at the time the wife and husband were separated, also got to fulfill his lifelong wish by meeting his father for the first time. In an interview with Newsis, Oh reportedly stated, "I wanted to say the word 'father' aloud at least once in my life," and requested for his father to "hold his mother's hands, who's gone through much hardship, and tell her sorry."
