Several of President Moon Jae-in's aides have joined a government task force created to assist preparations for the PyeongChang Winter Olympics. 

An official from the presidential office told reporters Wednesday that Kwon Hyuk-ki, the head of Cheong Wa Dae’s Chunchugwan press center, and two others are working with the government’s joint assistance team. 

Launched last week, the joint assistant team is led by Vice Unification Minister Chun Hae-sung and involves 20 other officials from various government agencies, including the Unification Ministry, the Foreign Ministry and the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism.
