Who Were the Singers at the Opening Ceremony of the Winter Olympics?

While Americans were able to catch a few glimpses early in the day, the full spectacle of the opening ceremony of the Winter Olympics came into view Friday night.

The theme of the ceremony was “Peace in Motion,” which was highlighted by the musical performances from some notable South Korean artists.

But who are they and what should you know about them? Here’s a look at the performers.

The children’s choir, known as the The Rainbow Chorus, performed “Aegukga,” the national anthem of South Korea. The choir is sponsored by the South Korean government, and it was created in an effort to educate the public about multiculturalism and to help integrate immigrants and multicultural families.
