Who will win the 2018 Nobel Peace Prize?
South Korean leader Moon Jae-in? What about North Korean leader Kim Jong-un or the two leaders together?

They two men are garnering international attention with the Norwegian Nobel Committee set to announce this year's winner on Friday (local time).

Moon and Kim are among 331 nominees for the prestigious prize this year ― 216 individuals and 115 groups. Also included is U.S. President Donald Trump.

There has been plenty of speculation about the possible recipient of this year's Nobel Peace Prize. But no one will know until the envelope containing the winner's name is opened.

Speculation has it that Moon and Kim deserve the prize because of their unprecedented efforts to ease military tension on the Korean Peninsula and above all their public commitment to denuclearize the North. But skeptics say conditions are not ripe yet because the North has taken no concrete step toward denuclearization.

Against this backdrop, British online betting site nicerodds rates the Moon-Kim duo as the most likely, followed by Kim and Trump.

In May, former U.S. Cabinet member Robert Reich said the South Korean leader deserved this year's Nobel Peace Prize, extolling his "broker diplomacy" between Kim and Trump.
