As the 2018 Winter Olympic Games continue in Pyeongchang, the world is watching Korea for more than just sports.
The sister of North Korean dictator, Kim Jong Un, was present at the games' opening ceremony where athletes from both Koreas marched together under an inter-Korean flag.
Vice President Mike Pence stated that U.S. policy will remain unchanged after his trip to the region. Pence said, "new strong sanctions are coming very soon and the maximum pressure campaign will only intensify until North Korea abandons its nuclear program" in a post on Twitter on Feb. 12.
As tensions on the Korean peninsula remain high, Catholics there are likely remembering the witness of Korea's first native-born priest, the martyred Saint Andrew Kim Taegon.
