North Korea's taekwondo demonstration team returned home Thursday after performances in South Korea celebrating the PyeongChang Winter Olympics.

The Unification Ministry said that the 28-member team returned to North Korea by using the inter-Korean transit office on the Gyeongui Line on the western border.

Three coaches and administrative officials traveled back to the North via Beijing by air as they did when they arrived in South Korea. 

The North Korean performers arrived in the South last Wednesday and demonstrated their skills in four joint taekwondo performances with their South Korean counterparts, including the one before the Olympics' opening ceremony in PyeongChang.
