North Korea's art troupe returned home on Monday via the western border land route following two concerts in celebration of the PyeongChang Winter Olympics.

The 140-member Samjiyon Orchestra led by Hyon Song-wol returned home on Monday morning using the inter-Korean transit office on the Gyeongui Line at the western border.

The art troupe arrived at Mukho Port in South Korea last Tuesday via the North Korean ferry, Mangyongbong-92.

The orchestra, consisting of around 140 musicians and artists, performed at the Gangneung Arts Center in Gangneung on Thursday and at the National Theater of Korea in Seoul on Sunday.
