With a radiant appearance and graceful movements, the beautiful actresses and female fans of North Korea will have eye-catching performances at the Olympics.
The wife of the North Korean leader, Ri Sol-ju, was also one of the fans present at the 2005 Asian Athletics Championship in Incheon.
Korean Prime Minister Lee Nak-yon said on January 10 that North Korea will send a delegation of 400 - 500 people to South Korea to attend the PyeongChang Winter Olympics, including athletes, senior officials, spectators, fans and reporters. This is the 4th time the cheerleaders have appeared in Korea.
Any North Korean delegation to neighboring countries is carefully selected by Pyongyang, and their moves are tightly controlled in South Korea.
AFP said that the Olympic away team could be deployed on a ship in Sokcho for easier control.
According to An Chan II, a researcher at the North Korean Research Institute, fans and spectators are selected based on strict criteria. "They must be 1m63 or taller and come from a good family. those who play musical instruments must play in a certain band, the rest are mainly students of the prestigious university of Kim Nhat Thanh.
The division of the two northern and southern regions makes North Korean tourists a passion for Koreans. They first appeared at the 2002 Asian Games in Busan. Nearly 300 people wearing colorful hanbok arrived in Busan on a ferry, waving a unified flag. Hundreds of Busan residents lined up to welcome them, with some houses also hung unified flags.
With skillful choreography, sometimes using props, the "pink team" is enthusiastically praised when they sing and dance.
In 2005, North Korean female fan Cho Myung-ae, who has a beautiful appearance, appeared in a Samsung mobile phone advertisement on television with Kpop star Lee Hyo-ri.
"This pink team will help sell tickets as expensive as fresh shrimp. They will also fulfill our desire to organize a peaceful Olympics," said Mr. Sung Baik-you, spokesperson of the PyeongChang Organizing Committee.
