Some of South Korean biggest pop singers have departed for North Korea for rare performances highlighting the recent warming of ties between the war-separated rivals.
The 120-member group that flew to Pyongyang also includes government officials, reporters and a taekwondo demonstration team. The Koreas planned the concerts to celebrate the anticipated summit between North Korean leader Kim Jong Un and South Korean President Moon Jae-in.
The April 27 meeting could prove to be significant in the global diplomatic push to resolve the standoff over the North's nuclear weapons programme.
