As of January 2024, there were about 39.3 thousand family members living in South Korea who had been separated by the Korean War. The age of separated family members continues to increase as time passes. By now, over 70 percent of South Koreans registered to have family in the North have passed away. The Korean War from 1950 to 1953 separated many families. After the inter-Korean summit in 2000, South and North Korea organized 20 reunions for the separated families until December 2015.
