Kim Yo Jong is the deputy chief of the agitation and propaganda department of the Central Committee of the Korean Workers' Party. As Yonhap agency notes, a member of the DPRK leader's family from the Kim dynasty will visit South Korea for the first time. In Seoul, it is believed that Kim Jong-un's sister was included in this list, because often families of foreign leaders come to the Games.
The XXIII Winter Olympic Games will be held in Pyeongchang from 9 to 25 February 2018.
