Kim Jong Un is not officially on speaking terms with South Korean President Park Geun-hye. But on Thursday, in his New Year's address, he said that could change. Last week, North Korea's government news agency branded Park's election as fraudulent and her father -- himself a former President -- a dictator. But in his televised speech, for the first time ever, the communist leader said he'd talk with Park, South Korean news agency Yonhap reported. "Depending on the mood and circumstances to be created, we have no reason not to hold the highest-level talks," Kim said. North Korea's state news agency did not publish those remarks in the official transcript of Kim's speech.
