The girls from K-pop group Red Velvet soon will be synchronizing their steps on a stage in the North Korean capital. They will be part of a troupe of South Korean pop stars who’ll be performing in Pyongyang, the South Korean Unification Ministry announced.
South and North Korea held face-to-face talks Tuesday in the border village of Panmunjom in the Demilitarized Zone to discuss the upcoming trip.
There’s been an uptick in diplomatic back-and-forth between Seoul and Pyongyang since North Korean leader Kim Jong Un announced in January that his country was interested in sending a delegation to the Winter Olympics.
That set off a flurry of diplomatic activity between the two Koreas; they each sent high-level delegations to meet the other’s leaders, with promises for a summit between Kim and South Korean President Moon Jae-in.
