A North Korean delegation arrived in Seoul on Monday to continue inspections of possible venues for its proposed art performances during next month's PyeongChang Winter Olympics.

The seven-member delegation checked out the Jamsil Students' Gymnasium, Jangchung Gymnasium and the National Theater of Korea in Seoul and is expected to leave late at night after dinner. 

After wrapping up its two-day trip, the delegation will return home by crossing the inter-Korean transit office at Dorasan train station at the Gyeongui Line on the western border.  

The inspection team, led by Hyon Song-wol, head of the Samjiyon Orchestra, arrived in South Korea on Sunday and checked candidate venues for the upcoming performances in Gangneung. 

There, the advance team toured possible performance venues including the Hwang Young-jo Stadium and Gangneung Arts Center. 

The North plans to send a 140-member art performance group, consisting of an orchestra, singers and dancers, for two concerts - one in Seoul and one in Gangneung around the time of the Olympics. 
 
The delegation's trip was originally scheduled for Saturday, but the North abruptly canceled it late Friday without giving clear reasons and notified the South the next day that it would send the team on Sunday.
