N. Korea Offers to Send Delegation to South to Prepare for Art Performance

North Korea has proposed sending a seven-member delegation to the South on Saturday to make advance preparations for the dispatch of an art troupe during the PyeongChang Olympics. 

Seoul's Unification Ministry said Friday that Pyongyang notified the South of its plans through a document addressed to Unification Minister Cho Myoung-gyon.

The notice said the delegation would cross the border through the Gyeongui Line overland route and spend two days in the South.

The group will be led by Hyon Song-wol, head of the Samjiyon Orchestra, who was present at Monday's working-level talks on dispatching a cultural troupe to the South.

The delegation is expected to discuss the schedule and content of the North's performances with their South Korean counterparts and check the venues. 

Seoul says it will review the document before responding to the North.

The two Koreas agreed Monday that the 140-member Samjiyon Orchestra will stage performances in Seoul and the Pyeongchang-Gangneung area where Olympic matches will take place.
