BEIJING, Feb. 20 (Yonhap) -- Chang Ung, the North Korean member of the International Olympic Committee (IOC), said Tuesday that it is "possible" for the two Koreas to jointly hold the 2021 Asian Winter Games.
Chang also said that if that happens, the Masikryong Ski Resort on the outskirts of the North's eastern city of Wonsan could be used as one of the venues.
He made the remarks days after Gov. Choi Moon-soon of South Korea's Gangwon Province said Saturday that he is considering a bid to co-host the Asian Games with North Korea. Gangwon Province is where the Feb. 9-25 PyeongChang Olympics is under way.
