In his first address to South Koreans this year, President Moon Jae-in focused on the economy.
Namely, how he plans to narrow the gap between the haves and have nots and stick to wage hikes to spur growth.
But his annual new year's press conference quickly drifted to North Korea.
Moon said he believes Kim Jong-un and President Trump will meet soon, seeing as Kim just visited Chinese President Xi Jinping.
Moon also said Kim and global leaders share the same understanding of 'denuclearization.'
But last month North Korea strongly suggested its vision of a nuclear free Korean Peninsula includes the removal of all U.S. military forces the region.
Moon added Pyongyang can't act alone. The U.S., he said, also needs to make concessions in negotiations.
