A pro-North Korean organization in Japan reportedly plans to send a cheering squad to South Korea next week to root on North Korean athletes competing in the PyeongChang Winter Olympics. 

Japan’s Asahi Shimbun said the first group of cheerleaders from the General Association of Korean Residents in Japan will visit South Korea for five days beginning Thursday of next week. They are expected to watch the opening ceremony of the Games next Friday and the women’s ice hockey events on Saturday.

During a working-level meeting last month, the two Koreas agreed to allow the group to send cheerleaders to the Winter Games. 

The group is planning to send a total of 170 cheerleaders to PyeongChang in three groups.
