US, ROK will ruin legacy of Winter Olympic Games with military drills

The Winter Olympics in Pyeongchang, which came to a close on Sunday, offered the two sides on the Korean Peninsula a chance to deescalate tensions. The international community is closely watching developments after the games.

The Pyeongchang Olympics was an event where "breakthroughs" happened. Kim Yo-jong, the younger sister of Democratic People's Republic of Korea's leader Kim Jong-un, became the first member of the Kim family to visit the Republic of Korea. As her brother's special envoy, she delivered his invitation to ROK President Moon Jae-in to visit Pyongyang.

The ROK and the DPRK marched under a prounification flag and fielded a unified women's ice hockey team at the Games.
