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

The delegation arrived at the South Korean side of the Inter-Korean Transit Office at 9:28 a.m. 

Led by Sports Minister Kim Il-guk, the delegation includes four officials of the North's National Olympic Committee, 229 cheerleaders, 26 taekwondo demonstrators and 21 journalists.

The cheering squad will reportedly attend North Korean athletes' games and the joint inter-Korean ice hockey team's games, as well as some 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.
