Magician Choi Hyun-woo, who went to Pyongyang as part of the South Korean delegation for the three-day inter-Korean summit, presented a magic show to the leaders of the two Koreas Tuesday night at Mokran (Magnolia) House.

“I was nervous at the moment,” The Kyunghyang Shinmun quoted Choi as saying. He said he was bit worried as he heard North Korean leader Kim Jong-un likes magic and he did not want to let him down.

During dinner on Tuesday, Choi performed card tricks that engaged the leaders and their wives.

“The first theme was telepathy, that is, to communicate telepathically,” Choi said.

For example, if President Moon Jae-in chose a card in his mind, Kim had to guess what card that was.

“It went well with President Moon and Chairman Kim, as well as with the two first ladies who were telepathic with each other,” the magician said.

“At the end, I turned the cards into a large card with a Korean Peninsula flag on it to show a message of going together in harmony. I was surprised when the two leaders pointed out the same thing that Dokdo (the rocky islets in the East Sea) was displayed on the card.”  [Korea Times]

So if Dokdo is on the flag then where was Ieodo at?
