North Korea has called off a cultural event to be held together with South Korea that was meant to celebrate the first Olympics held on Korean soil in 30 years.
A telegram from the North late Monday reportedly blamed "biased" and "insulting" media coverage from the South on the North's planned events for the Olympics. South Korea's unification ministry said the North's sudden decision was regrettable adding that they should uphold all the remaining agreements that have been made.
Meanwhile, the two Koreans do plan to go ahead with two days of joint ski training in the North starting tomorrow. South Korea will send skiers to the North's Masiktryong Ski Resort. The South Korean skiers will take a chartered flight to the North's Kalma Airport, which is around 45 minutes away from the ski resort.
