N. Korea delegates arrive in Seoul for pre-Olympics inspection

SEOUL, Jan 21, 2018 (BSS/AFP) – A North Korean delegation arrived in Seoul
on Sunday to inspect venues and prepare cultural performances for next
month’s Winter Olympics, in the first visit by Pyongyang officials for four
years.

Television footage showed a group of seven officials led by Hyon Song-Wol,
the leader of the North’s popular Moranbong band, crossing the heavily-
fortified border on a bus before arriving at Seoul train station about an
hour later.
