Ha Hyun Woo, lead singer of South Korean indie rock band Guckkasten, and Ahn Ji-young, one half of female K-Pop duo Bolbbalgan4 (also known as Bolbbalgan Sachungi), are both set to perform.

Rumours have also circulated that Insooni, one of South Korea’s more famous R&B divas, will likely be involved and sing the Games official song “Let Everyone Shine”.

The rest of the lineup is unknown and will be revealed when the ceremony gets underway – so tune in to find out.
