Another North Korean delegation will visit South Korea on Thursday to prearrange accommodations for North Korean athletes, cheerleaders and taekwondo demonstrators during the PyeongChang Olympics. 

Seoul’s Unification Ministry said the eight-member advance team, led by Yoon Yong-bok, a deputy director at North Korea‘s Sports Ministry, is scheduled to cross the border in the morning via the western Gyeongui Line .

They will first head to Gangwon Province to inspect lodging for North Korean cheerleaders. One potential site mentioned was the Inje Speedium in Inje County. 

Afterwards, it is likely they will check out major Olympic venues in Gangneung, including the Ice Arena, Athletes' Village and Hockey Center.

On Friday, they are slated to inspect the International Broadcast Center, PyeongChang Olympic Stadium, Alpensia Cross-Country Center and Yongpyeong Ski Resort.

On Saturday, the final day of their trip, the North's officials will head to Seoul to look at a hotel where their taekwondo athletes can stay before visiting MBC's headquarters in Sangam-dong in western Seoul. The Unification Ministry said it is also a potential venue where the North's taekwondo demonstrators can perform.  

Meanwhile, 12 North Korean women’s ice hockey players, who will team up with South Koreans for a unified team at the PyeongChang Games, will accompany the advance team along with their coach and assistants.
