A 280-member North Korean delegation, including cheerleaders and a taekwondo demonstration team, will arrive in South Korea Wednesday via the western border land route.

Seoul's Unification Ministry said Tuesday the North has notified that the delegation will arrive at the South Korean side of the Inter-Korean Transit Office at 9:30 a.m.

The delegation led by Sports Minister Kim Il-guk includes journalists and officials of North Korea's Olympic committee.

The roster conveyed by the North consists of four officials of the National Olympic Committee, 229 cheerleaders, 26 taekwondo demonstrators and 21 journalists for a total of 280 members.

The cheering squad will reportedly attend North Korean athletes' games and the joint inter-Korean ice hockey team's games, as well as some of South Koreans athletes' matches. 
 
The taekwondo demonstration team will hold four joint demonstrations with South Koreans. 

The first performance will be held ahead of the PyeongChang Olympics’ opening ceremony on Friday, and the second performance on the following day in Sokcho, Gangwon Province. The remaining two performances will be held in Seoul next Monday and Wednesday.
