South Korea says it has accepted a DPRK proposal to send Kim Jong Un's younger sister, Kim Yo Jong to the opening ceremony of the PyeongChang Winter Olympics on Friday.

Pyongyang said she would be included in the country's delegation led by top legislator, Kim Yong Nam. Two-hundred and eighty delegates from the DPRK -- including cheerleaders and journalists -- arrived in South Korea on Wednesday. It was one of the largest peace-time crossings of the inter-Korean border.
