Pyongyang and Seoul agreed Monday to send a 140-member orchestra to South Korea for next month's Pyeongchang Winter Olympics and hold concerts in Seoul, just a day after the North laid into South Korean President Moon Jae-in for pushing the nuclear issue and what it called a "brown-nosing attitude."
Representatives from the two Koreas met Monday for the second time in a week as they worked to hammer out details for the North's participation in next month's Olympics, an approach Seoul sees as a way of lowering the temperature on the peninsula.
South Korea's Unification Ministry said that the orchestra will perform in Seoul, and in the city of Gangneung, where some of the competitions will be held, the South's Yonhap news agency said.
