North Korea has selected two concert venues in South Korea for its proposed art performances celebrating the PyeongChang Winter Olympics next month, the unification ministry said Tuesday.
In a message sent to South Korea on Tuesday night, North Korea said its art troupe hopes to perform at the Gangneung Arts Center in Gangneung on Feb. 8 and at the National Theater of Korea in Seoul on Feb. 11, the ministry said.
Gangneung, a coastal city located about 260 kilometers east of Seoul, is one of the Olympic venues along with nearby PyeongChang.
North Korea said its delegation plans to cross the land border into South Korea on Feb. 6 for the concerts before returning home on Feb. 12, according to the message, which was released by the ministry. Â [Yonhap]

Why would I go support a group that belongs to a country that wants to kill me? That is what South Koreans have to ask themselves.

The tickets are not available for general public admission. Only the carefully chosen people have been given tickets to attend the shows. The South Korean government will never dare to open the concerts to the general public and risk anti-KJU protests to erupt during the concerts.
