The Olympics offer the chance to witness the top athletes from around the world, but the 2018 PyeongChang Olympic and Paralympic Games will also allow visitors to experience K-pop entertainment.

“We are preparing around 400 various events during 20-30 minute intermissions to wow and entertain fans,” an official from the sports presentation division of the organizing committee for the Olympic Games said.

Participating K-pop artists include boy band Teen Top, girl group Momoland and singers like Ailee, Bada and Hong Kyung-min.

The range of performances includes those by amateur musicians, from traditional Korean gukak and b-boying to taekwondo demonstrations. Traditional performances from other countries, including the US, France, Latvia and the Netherlands, will also be available.

Detailed information on the programs are posted at the homepage of the organizing committee: www.pyeongchang2018.com.
