What did I tell everyone in regards to why North Korea was holding these family reunions?:

North Korea wants South Korea to reward it for resuming reunions of families separated by the Korean War, an official said Sunday after the communist nation hosted the first such meetings in two years.

Hundreds of Korean families separated for more than half a century were reunited Saturday under a temporary reunion program. The North agreed last month to resume the Red Cross-arranged reunions in part of efforts to reach out to South Korea and the U.S. after months of tension over its nuclear and missile programs.

South Korean Red Cross chief Yoo Chong-ha told reporters covering the reunion at the North’s Diamond Mountain resort that his North Korean counterpart Jang Jae On asked him Saturday about Seoul rewarding Pyongyang for the family reunions.

According to South Korean media pool reports, Yoo quoted Jang as saying: “This reunion was (arranged) as the North offered a special amity. How about South Korea offering its amity in response to this?”

Yoo said the North Korean Red Cross chief didn’t say what reward his country wants from the South. But the pool reports, without citing any source, said the North appeared to be seeking resumption of food and fertilizer aid to the North, noting the country made similar demands in the past.  [Associated Press]

The important thing to remember about North Korea is that they do nothing out of the goodness of their hearts, everything is calculated to reap the maximum advantage to the ruling regime.
