Winter Olympics: DPRK athletes put up national flag in Olympic village
[]
The upcoming Pyeongchang Winter Olympics are drawing global attention, due to the DPRK's participation.
The DPRK's attendance is being regarded as a sign of easing tensions on the Korean Peninsula. The 101-day long Olympic torch tour is also continuing, with 75 hundred torch bearers involved. Meanwhile the DPRK delegation has put up their national flag in the Gangneung Olympic Village. It's the first time the flag has been hung in South Korean territory, since the Incheon Asian Games in 2014. A ceremony will be held next Thursday to mark their move into the village, a day after South Korea's delegation is due to arrive.
