Ethnic Korean students in Japan paid close attention to the historic U.S.-North Korea summit Tuesday, with Korea International School in Ibaraki, Osaka Prefecture, holding a special session that showed a live broadcast of the landmark summit on a classroom screen.

When U.S. President Donald Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un appeared on the screen, the students cheered and applauded, while some captured the historic moment on their smartphones.

"It is unnatural that a state of war continues between (South and North Korea) as they used to be one country. I hope there will be a declaration of the end of war through this summit," said No Seon Sim, 16.
