North Korea has selected two concert venues in South Korea for its proposed art performances celebrating the PyeongChang Winter Olympics next month.

According to South Korea's Unification Ministry, North Korea sent a message on Tuesday night stating that its art troupe plans to perform at the Gangneung Arts Center in Gangneung on February eighth and at the National Theater of Korea in Seoul on February 11th.  

The notice came a day after the North's seven-member delegation led by Hyon Song-wol, head of the North's Samjiyon Orchestra, looked around five candidate concert venues in Seoul and Gangneung. 
   
North Korea said its delegation plans to use the inter-Korean transit office on the Gyeongui Line at the western border to cross into the South for its visit, which runs from February sixth until February 12th.  

The South Korean government plans to notify its consent to the North's proposal on Wednesday. 

The North plans to send a 140-member art performance group, consisting of an orchestra, singers and dancers, for the two concerts.
