Sung Baik-You made the announcement following North Korea’s decision to send cheerleaders to its neighbour to encourage its athletes.
He said that he hoped Kim Jong-un’s “army of beauties…will help with ticket sales”.
Mr Sung added that a boost from the cheerleading squad “will fulfil our desires for a peaceful Olympics”.
Defector researcher An Chan-Il stated that North Korean cheerleaders are meticulously selected and those who wish to fill the desirable positions must meet a strict criteria.
He said: “They must be over 163 centimetres (five feet and three inches), tall and come from good families.
“Those who play an instrument, are from a band and others are mostly students at the elite Kim Il-Sung University.”
Cheerleaders from the hermit kingdom were first seen at the 2002 Asian Games in Busan, a city in South Korea.
The event resulted in the spectacle of almost 300 cheerleaders from the isolationist state arriving in the city by ferry.
Back then, the “army of beauties” were seen in traditional Korean dresses.
In 2005 a former cheerleader from the hermit nation, Cho Myung-Ae, made an appearance in a Samsung mobile phone advert.
The 2014 Asian Games in Incheon, a city bordering the capital of Seoul, saw another appearance from the “army”.
Last week officials confirmed that North Korea would send a cheerleading squad and athletes to the Winter Olympics.
South Korean negotiator Chun Hae-sung: “North Korea expressed its stance that it will send its high-level delegation, athletes representing the People’s Olympic Committee, a cheering squad and an art troupe, a visitors’ group, a Taekwondo demonstration team and a press corps.”
Kim Kong-un’s wife Ri Sol-ju was reportedly a member of the famous cheerleading troop that visited South Korea to perform in 2005.
Talks will continue today between the Korean neighbours where the South will demand answers from the North which has avoided concrete answers to direct requests, just weeks ahead of the world’s best winter sport athletes descending on the region.
South Korea will discuss the North’s bizarre plan to send a dance troupe south of the border during the upcoming Olympics, being held between February 9 and 15.
Heavily guarded talks will be held at Tongilgak, a North Korean building in the truce village of Panmunjom.
