A delegation of high-ranking North Koreans has arrived in South Korea to attend tonight's closing ceremony of the PyeongChang Olympics. They're expected to meet President Moon Jae-in during their visit. But their presence is controversial. The leader of the delegation, General Kim Yong-chol ,... is allegedly behind multiple attacks on South Korea in the past. Ji Myung-kil reports. North Korea's eight-member high-level delegation entered South Korea Sunday morning for a three-day trip... led by General Kim Yong-chol. They'll attend the closing ceremony of the Winter Olympics tonight. Kim is a key official in the North's ruling party in charge of handling inter-Korean affairs who's stirred controversy with his links to multiple attacks on South Korea. During his time as military intelligence chief... he is accused of masterminding two attacks on South Korea,... the first being the sinking of the South Korean warship Cheonan in 2010, in which 46 sailors were killed,... and the second, the artillery attack on Yeonpyeong Island in 2010, which killed two civilians and two marines. His inclusion in the delegation has caused outrage in some quarters. However, Seoul's unification ministry said responsibility for the Cheonan incident cannot be definitively laid on Kim... despite the fact that he led the North's spy agency at the time.
