DPRK athletes have arrived in Seoul for the first time in 8 years.
The Naegohyang FC women's team from Pyongyang will compete in the Asian Champions League semi-final on Wednesday May 20.
The last time DPRK athletes visited the ROK was the 2018 Pyeongchang Winter Olympics, where they marched alongside ROK athletes for the opening ceremony, and the two nations fielded a joint women’s hockey team.
The visit comes as tensions between the DPRK and ROK are high. In recent years the DPRK has ruled out reunification and called the ROK its “most hostile state”.
