We consider the problem of distributed source simulation with no communication, in which Alice and Bob observe sequences $U^n$ and $V^n$ respectively, drawn from a joint distribution $p_{UV}^{\otimes n}$, and wish to locally generate sequences $X^n$ and $Y^n$ respectively with a joint distribution that is close (in KL divergence) to $p_{XY}^{\otimes n}$. We provide a single-letter condition under which such a simulation is asymptotically possible with a vanishing KL divergence. Our condition is nontrivial only in the case where the Gàcs-Körner (GK) common information between $U$ and $V$ is nonzero, and we conjecture that only scalar Markov chains $X-U-V-Y$ can be simulated otherwise. Motivated by this conjecture, we further examine the case where both $p_{UV}$ and $p_{XY}$ are doubly symmetric binary sources with parameters $p,q\leq 1/2$ respectively. While it is trivial that in this case $p\leq q$ is both necessary and sufficient, we show that when $p$ is close to $q$ then any successful simulation is close to being scalar in the total variation sense.
