The two Koreas discussed the venue and schedule for art performers that North Korea will send to the upcoming Winter Olympics at a working-level meeting on Monday. 

The Unification Ministry said the two sides discussed technical issues related to the art troupe's performance in two 25-minute meetings held from 10:10 a.m. and noon.  

The two sides will hold another meeting in the afternoon.  

South Korea's chief delegate to the talks is Lee Woo-sung, head of the culture and arts policy office at the Culture Ministry. The other three members are chief executive Lee Won-choul and artistic director Chong Chi-yong of the Korean Symphony Orchestra and Han Jong-wook, who heads an inter-Korean dialogue division under the Unification Ministry's Office of Inter-Korean Dialogue. 

The four-member North Korean delegation is led by Kwon Hyok-bong, director of the performing arts bureau at the Culture Ministry, and includes Hyon Song-wol, the leader of the all-female Moranbong Band, and stage manager An Jong-ho.
