KIM JONG UN'S SISTER TO MAKE RARE VISIT SOUTH

South Korea’s president plans to meet with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un’s sister and other senior North Korean officials when they visit the South this week for the Winter Olympics, his spokesman said Thursday.

Kim Yo Jong, believed to be around 30, would be the first member of North Korea’s ruling family to visit the South since the 1950-53 Korean War.

She is to arrive Friday to attend the opening ceremony of the Pyeongchang Games, and will join South Korean President Moon Jae-in for lunch on Saturday, presidential spokesman Kim Eui-kyeom said. Such a meeting seemed unimaginable only a few months ago.
