South Korea is preparing to host the Winter Olympic Games in February next year. However, the run-up to the major sporting event has been overshadowed by an escalating crisis with North Korea.

Despite the diplomatic tension, the International Olympic Committee says it has no other plan but to hold the games in Pyeongchang county, South Korea.
