In recent days, rival parties have come together to support the dialogue between Kim and Trump.

Party leaders held hands for a friendly photo-op in Seoul and said they'll even take nonpartisan action in parliament if needed.

They hope the meeting in in Hanoi leads to a nuclear-free Korean Peninsula.

It's a rare show of unity in a country with a bold line dividing the left and right on North Korea and domestic issues.

President Moon is all-in supporting Trump's approach with Kim. And most lawmakers here seem to be behind him… for now.
