The two sides were expected to discuss details including the number of performers, their travel route and their schedules.Four delegates from each side were scheduled to attend, with the North’s delegation including Hyon Song-wol, the leader of the popular all-female pop group, the Moranbong Band.Next Saturday, both sides will also meet the International Olympics Committee in Switzerland, to discuss the details of North Korea’s involvement.
