A DPRK delegation has arrived in South Korea to inspect venues for its proposed art performances.

The Yonhap News Agency said the seven-member team is led by Hyon Song Wol, head of the Samjiyon Orchestra. The delegation crossed the border this morning using the Gyeongui railway line for a two-day trip that was previously scheduled to start on Saturday. Several South Korean officials greeted its members at the immigration office at Dorasan Station in Paju. Pyongyang plans to send a 140-member art performance group, consisting of an orchestra, singers, and dancers, for concerts in Seoul and Gangneung.
