Seoul envoys visit North Korea

SEOUL: A South Korean delegation crossed into the North on Tuesday to inspect venues for joint Olympic-linked events, even as Pyongyang demanded Seoul apologize for “despicable” protestors who burned Kim Jong-Un’s image, as controversy mounts over the rapprochement.

The two Koreas agreed earlier this month that the North’s athletes would attend February’s Pyeongchang Winter Games in the South, and that they would form a joint women’s ice hockey team and march together at the opening ceremony.
