Both South and North Korean delegations will hold the unified Korean flag which shows the Korean Peninsula as they jointly march in. In addition, a joint women's ice hockey team will be formed.
During the games, North Korea will send a cheering team of 230 people, which will cheer for both the South and North Korean teams, as well as a 30-member taekwondo team to perform in PyeongChang and Seoul, with the dates yet to be announced.
The North Korean delegation of athletes will arrive in South Korea on February 1st while the cheering team, taekwondo demonstration team and reporters will do so on February 7th.
