North Korean delegates, including around 230 cheerleaders, have arrived in the South in the run-up to the Winter Olympic Games in PyeongChang. They are also expected to be joined by leader Kim Jong-un's sister.
A squad of 229 cheerleaders arrived in South Korea on Wednesday as a part of a 280-strong Pyongyang’s delegation, which is seen as one of the largest recent border crossings between the two Koreas. The women all clad in red coats and fur hats greeted crowds of journalists as they arrived at the four-star luxury hotel in Inje, some two hours’ drive from the Olympic venue in PyeongChang, where the Games are to kick off on Friday.

The cheerleaders came alongside 26 taekwondo performers, 21 journalists and four North Korean Olympic Committee members, including Sports Minister Kim Il-guk, according to the South’s Unification Ministry cited by Reuters.

Kim Jong-un’s younger sister, Kim Yo-jong, is to attend the opening ceremony of the Winter Olympics, Pyongyang announced on Wednesday. Kim Yo-jong is the youngest of the late leader Kim Jong-il’s three children and has not been in the spotlight. Kim’s sister being included in the delegation is a “meaningful” step, as she is a senior official at the ruling Workers' Party, Seoul's Unification Ministry said in a statement.

On Tuesday, the arrival of a 140-strong North Korean orchestra to the port of Mukho on the west coast of South Korea was met by a small protest, with a group of demonstrators at the site carrying anti-North Korean signs and placards. Tensions rose as the performers’ vessel was approaching the port and small scuffles erupted between the protesters and police.

The confrontation was blasted by the North. State-run KCNA news agency called it “spasm of psychopath.” The article claimed that the rally was condemned by South Koreans themselves, who are “raising shout of wrath at this group of rabid dogs.”

“In fact, they are no more than a group of benighted gangsters inferior to beast, human scum,” KCNA said on Wednesday.

In January, Seoul and Pyongyang held their first talks in two years. These resulted in agreement on the participation of North Korean athletes and the formation of a united women’s hockey team in the Games.

I hope Moon has enough sense to detain her and use her to bring Rocket Man to the negotiation tables. We could have a last peace treaty within a year and a handsome sum of ransom money.

Kim Jong Un's younger sister, a gatekeeper on charm offensive

(CNN)She's often seen in the background of her powerful brother's public inspections, silently taking notes, holding bouquets of flowers from admirers or removing herself from the camera's gaze altogether.

But there will be no avoiding the flashing lights when North Korean leader Kim Jong Un's younger sister, Kim Yo Jong, heads to the Olympics in South Korea this month.
It's the first time a member of the Kim dynasty has ever visited the country.

The 30-year-old will join the North's high-level delegation to the South, in a charm offensive likely to irritate the United States.
Rise within Kim dynasty
Born in 1987, Kim Yo Jong studied in Switzerland like her brother and is believed to have attended Kim Il Sung University and a European school for her higher education.

She is believed to be the youngest of seven siblings their father, Kim Jong Il, had with four women. Many of them are half-siblings, but Kim Jong Un and Kim Yo Jong have the same mother, Ko Yong Hui.
Kim Yo Jong was always close to her father, and after returning from Switzerland she was appointed to positions of responsibility in the government, according to Michael Madden, who runs the blog North Korea Leadership Watch.
She would act as an advance-team leader, inspecting sites before official visits and taking on administrative duties.
Under her brother's leadership, Kim Yo Jong has taken on more responsibility, dealing with policy, receiving intelligence briefings and acting "almost like a White House chief of staff would," said Madden.
Kim Jong Un's 'gatekeeper'
Like most members of the Kim clan, little is definitively known about Kim Yo Jong beyond her official rank.
She was promoted to the country's Politburo, the senior body of North Korea's communist party, as an alternate member last year. According to North Korea Leadership Watch, she is a close aide of her brother's "and since his accession manages his public events, itineraries and logistical needs, among other tasks."

The world's most mysterious family tree
She is now among her brother's top 20 officials, and is seen as something of a gatekeeper to the leader, according to analysts.
"She's probably one of the most influential people on Kim Jong Un himself, precisely because he has very few people he can trust," said Balbina Hwang, visiting professor at Georgetown University and founder of the National Committee on North Korea.
Kim Yo Jong's profile has been steadily rising since 2014, when she was made deputy director of the Propaganda and Agitation Department of the Workers' Party.
Her position is such that, according to a Seoul-based think tank run by North Korean defectors, Kim Yo Jong briefly took charge of the country while her brother was reportedly ill with gout or diabetes in late 2014.
A trusted adviser
In the murky world of North Korean politics, Kim Yo Jong also plays an important role as an informant for her brother, according to North Korean analyst Ken Gause.
"In time, she will become the last line of defense for him, telling him about the loyalty of his most trusted advisers," he said.

Indeed, she'll want to keep on her brother's good side, if the fate of their half-brother Kim Jong Nam is anything to go by.
Kim Jong Nam was assassinated on the orders of Kim Jong Un in 2017, according to South Korea's spy agency, a claim denied by North Korea.
"It's certain that her older brother's death is not far from her mind in everything Kim Yo Jong does," said Hwang.
"So you know she is also thinking that at any given time, if she is to make one mistake, her brother could have her killed."
The world's most mysterious family tree

The family tree does not include all members of Kim's extensive family, just the most notable ones. As North Korea is notoriously secretive, some information such as birth dates cannot be confirmed.
CNN's James Griffiths, Sophie Jeong, Holly Yan and Brian Todd contributed to this report.
