Ask what Korea is talking about.

South Korean officials said Thursday that North Korea is unlikely to attend next week's APEC summit in Shenzhen, China, or hold talks with the U.S. on its sidelines. A presidential official, speaking on condition of anonymity, said it would be difficult to say there is zero possibility, but that the chances appear small, according to Yonhap and the Korea Times. The same official noted uncertainty over whether U.S.-North Korea contact could occur before or after the summit, saying there are many unpredictable factors. President Lee Jae Myung is set to attend the ASEAN and APEC summits in the Philippines and China next week, his national security adviser said.
