The North Korean leader, repeatedly derided as "Little Rocket Man" by Trump, was "very aware" of his image, the official said, and reacted to comments made about him in a "relaxed" manner by joking about himself from time to time.

"If working-level talks ever cease and hostility appears, (President Moon) and I can easily resolve it with a phone call," Kim referring to the hotline the two Koreas are planning to install to connect Kim and Moon. It will be the first such hotline to be set up between the heads of the two Koreas.

When the South Korean officials visited, no hard feelings were displayed and Kim Jong Un was the first to tackle sensitive topics, including the resumption of a military exercise between South Korea and the United States that was postponed for a peaceful Winter Olympics, the Blue House official said.

At the dinner on the first night, South Korean officials were able to observe the relationship between Kim and his wife, Ri Sol Ju, said the second administrative source.
The source said Kim did not come across as overbearing, describing the spouses as appearing "equal".
"They seemed to be quite close to one another and he didn't seem like one of your conservative husbands."

It seems like the N Korea Leader does not seems to be a difficult and unreasonable person to work with.

If S Korea Leader, US and Japan are able to handle the talk with N Korean Leader reasonably, carefully and tactfully ---- it look like a Permanent Peace Deal can be signed and denuke is a real possibility.

The key is :-
Both sides must strike a "Win-Win" outcome and both sides must not be "shortchanged" in the deal ---- so that lasting Peace will be assured.

Social media have been engaging Kim for 7 years that has resulted in :-
Kim start off with economic development such as encourage entrepreneurship and keep their profit. Invite SKorea investors to set up factories in Kaesong and create jobs for NKoreans.
Planning SEZ (Special Economic Zone) for foreign investors.
Build tourism infrastructure and designate tourist spots to attract foreign tourists.
Employ English teachers for designated schools.

-- after that it broke off with many missile and nuclear tests.

Hopefully, with denuke talk, Kim can resume all the past economic activities and prosper with integration with the World Economic Community --- and N Korea hopefully in future will be on the news in a positive light such as economic growth, economic development etc and not put in negative light such as missile and nuclear test.
