Anchor: Spectators around the world will witness a rare scene on the day the PyeongChang Olympic Winter Games kick off as the two Koreas will march together under a unified flag. 
Our Bae Joo-yon has more on what the upcoming Olympics will look like with the participation of North Korea.  

Report: When the PyeongChang Olympic Winter Games open in Gangwon Province on February ninth, athletes from South and North Korea will enter the PyeongChang Olympic Stadium together, hand in hand, under a unified flag. 

Based on the agreements reached during recent inter-Korean working-level talks, the 16-day games will see the largest ever delegation from North Korea, excluding athletes. 

Some 230 cheerleaders from North Korea will clap for Korean athletes competing in the Olympics, which will be held in South Korea for the first time in 30 years. 

During the games, 140 members of North Korea's Samjiyon Orchestra will stage performances in Seoul and the Pyeongchang-Gangneung area where Olympic matches will take place.

Add to the group around 30 Taekwondo performers and the size of the North’s delegation to the winter games is likely to top 400 people. 

Excluding athletes, the North’s largest delegation to an international sports event hosted by South Korea was the 303 cheerleaders that participated in the 2003 Daegu Summer Universiade. Including athletes, the largest delegation ever sent was a 650-member group for the 2002 Asian Games held in Busan.

For the PyeongChang Paralympics, the North will send a delegation of 150 people, including athletes, members of the North’s Paralympic committee, cheerleaders, art group members and reporters. 

The two Koreas have also agreed to field a joint women’s ice hockey team. Unification Minister Cho Myoung-gyon said on Thursday that five to six North Korean athletes will join the South Korean team.
