North Korean leader Kim Jong Un on Sunday attended the first concert in Pyongyang for over a decade by South Korean entertainers, including a K-pop girlband, the latest gesture of reconciliation before a rare inter-Korean summit. The visit came as a diplomatic thaw quickens on the peninsula after months of military tensions.
The 120-member group, 11 musical acts as well as dancers, technicians and martial artists are giving another concert on Tuesday. Kim and his wife came to watch the show, a Seoul culture ministry official said. Kim said inter-Korean cultural events should be held more often and suggested another event in Seoul this autumn, the Yonhap News Agency said.
