Today in Korean history



Oct. 13

2000 -- President Kim Dae-jung is chosen as the winner of the Nobel Peace Prize.
The Nobel Committee made the selection in recognition of his decades-long work
for democracy and human rights in South Korea and East Asia. Kim's historic
summit talk with North Korean leader Kim Jong-il in June 2000, which eased
tension on the Korean Peninsula, was a key factor in the committee's decision.
