According to reports, the North Korean delegation took more than two hours at the Gangneung Arts Center, while only about 10 minutes were spent at the gymnasium, feeding speculations on the likelihood that the former will be chosen for the Gangeung performance.
In a related development, North Korea on Sunday accepted Seoul’s plan to send an advance team to inspect the Kumgangsan area and Masikryong Ski Resort ahead of a joint skiing training event.
