N. Korea suspends 'Arirang' mass gymnastic performance
By Sohn suk-joo
SEOUL, Aug. 27 (Yonhap) -- North Korea has suspended its large-scale gymnastic and artistic performance due to damage from recent heavy rains, the country's state media reported Monday.
"It has now become hard to continue the performance as working people in different parts of the country are all out to recover from the flood damage these days," the Korean Central News Agency said. "The performance is expected to be staged again after the flood damage is cleared away."
The "Arirang" festival, named after a famous traditional Korean folk song, was held in 2002 and 2005, but was cancelled last year due to floods.
