Depends on your definition of "terrorism". He's not an islamist, if that's what you were referring to.
He also doesn't seem to have done this for political reasons. Facebook has confirmed one of his posts hailing Eliot Rodger, another mass murderer who acted out of misogyny.

Don't have to be Islamic to be a terrorist.

True, but many western media still reserve to use the word "terrorism" upon Muslims or anyone of Islamic faith when things like this happens. The Waffle House shooting was done by a white perpetrator that shot and killed 4 people (most are of African-American descent) but yet the media doesn't call it terrorism. They might use the term 'hate crime' instead.

GOYANG, South Korea, April 27 (Xinhua) -- South Korean President Moon Jae-in arrived Friday morning in the border village of Panmunjom for his first summit with Kim Jong Un, top leader of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK).
Moon's motorcade came to the South Korean side of Panmunjom around 30 minutes before Kim's scheduled arrival in the border village at 9:30 a.m. local time (0030 GMT).
Before leaving his office, Moon got off his black sedan for minutes to say hello to and shake hands with ordinary people waiting just outside the presidential compound, called Blue House, to wish for the success of the third-ever inter-Korean summit.
The Moon-Kim summit is to be held at Peace House, a three-story building on the South Korean side of the truce village. Kim would become the first DPRK leader to step onto South Korean soil since the end of the 1950-53 Korean War.
The first and second inter-Korean summits were held in Pyongyang, the DPRK capital, in 2000 and 2007, respectively.
Kim left Pyongyang for Panmunjom earlier in the day to attend the summit, according to the DPRK's Korean Central News Agency.

North and South Korea agree to work toward ‘common goal’ of denuclearization . . .
It was a day marked by an astonishing level of congeniality between the two, including a warm embrace at the signing of the “Panmunjeom Declaration,” named after the truce village in the Demilitarized Zone where it was forged.
It was, however, short on details as to what “denuclearization” means for each of them.
Still, the fact that Kim Jong Un and Moon Jae-in spent so much time together — and came up with a joint statement that even includes the word “denuclearization” — marked a surprising development after a year of threats and missile launches that brought the specter of war back to the Korean Peninsula.
“This provides the political space for Trump to have his own summit with Kim,” said Duyeon Kim, a visiting fellow at the Korean Peninsula Future Forum in Seoul. “Whether or not Kim Jong Un means it is a completely different story.”
