朝韩同意举统一旗帜参加冬奥会
North and South Korea have agreed to march under the same flag on this month's Winter Olympics. It will take place between the 9th and 25th of February. The Winter Olympics are in the South Korean city of PyeongChang. Many people were worried about what might happen when the North Korean team attended the games.
Recently, tensions between the two countries have been very high. However, both countries decided to use a "unified Korea" flag. There will also be a one-Korea ice hockey team for the first time.
The better relations could bring peace. However, not all Koreans are happy with this news. A South Korea's ice hockey coach said a united team could damage South Korea's chances of getting an Olympic medal.
