A South Korean art troupe is traveling to the DPRK for a set of performances in the capital Pyongyang. This comes after a DPRK group held performances in the South during the Winter Olympics. It's all part of warming ties ahead of a planned summit between the leaders of both sides. Our correspondent Shane Hahm has more. 

"Call it K-pop diplomacy. Quite the scene here at Seoul's Gimpo International Airport as a South Korean cultural delegation leaves to hold performances in Pyongyang. Included in the group are A-list musicians and South Korean pop legends, in genres ranging from new age to rock, and of course, K-pop. This group will be taking a direct flight from Seoul to Pyongyang aboard a commercial jet that's been cleared of any possible international sanctions violations. The government, including South Korea's Culture Ministry working behind the scenes to make these performances go off without a hitch, especially with a summit between the two leaders scheduled for April 27."

DO JONG-HWAN SOUTH KOREAN MINISTER OF CULTURE, SPORTS & TOURISM "As the minister and the head of this delegation, I will put my heart and soul in creating a path toward stability on the Korean Peninsula and mutual respect through culture and sports."

"Two, 2-hour performances, including a joint performance with DPRK artists on April 3 are on the slate. In addition, a taekwondo team will be holding separate martial arts demonstrations. If you remember back in February during the Pyeongchang Winter Olympics, the DPRK held similar events for audiences in the South. Certainly a much different situation here compared to last year, when there was virtually no cross-border interaction or contact between the two sides. The hope with this exchange is that the people on both sides of the demilitarized zone can connect and share common bonds on a cultural level."
