The first inter-Korean summit took place in June 2000, when the former dissident Kim Dae-jung shook hands with Kim Jong Il, the late father of the current North Korean leader, Kim Jong Un. Moon’s efforts, however, went above and beyond his predecessors, actually producing technically sophisticated agreements rather than symbolic, largely meaningless communiques. Time put Moon on the short list for its 2018 Person of the Year, describing him as someone who “helped apply the brakes” to the dangerous, juvenile war of words that was occurring at the time between Washington and Pyongyang....
