    With North Korea set to participate in next month's Winter Olympics in South Korea, attention is now on who will represent the delegation and athletes, when they will come, where they will stay and what they will eat during the global event.

    Everything is up in the air and details will be fixed at inter-Korean meetings following the first high-level talks in two years between the two countries on Tuesday.

    Against this backdrop, a local broadcaster said on Thursday that North Korea's cheer squad and performance troupe would stay at a secluded hotel in Inje, Gangwon Province.

    Citing an unidentified government source, TV Chosun reported that the hotel is one of the accommodation candidates. The government has reportedly paid a deposit to occupy the hotel before and during the Olympics. The eight-story twin-tower hotel has 250 rooms that can house up to 650 people, TV Chosun said.

    The hotel is in a sparsely populated town about 120 kilometers from the Olympics' main stadium in PyeongChang and is surrounded by mountains, ideal for tight security and surveillance.

    Observers said if the plan is true, the North Korean delegation and athletes would stay close to the hotel.
