The wait is almost over-- the 23rd Winter Olympics will officially kick off its three-week run in PyeongChang,... with the Opening Ceremony set to start ten hours from now,... at 8 p.m. Korea time,... 6 a.m. eastern time in the U.S. and 11 a.m. in London.
It's the second time the Olympic cauldron will be lit in South Korea, and the first time in 30 years that the country will host the global sporting event since the 1988 Seoul Olympics.
For more, let's connect to our Lee Ji-won who is standing by at the PyeongChang Olympic Plaza.
Ji-won Tell us what we can expect from tonight's opening ceremony...

Mark, the opening ceremony of the 1988 Seoul Olympics had the unforgettable moment of a young South Korean boy rolling a hoop across the grass infield of the Olympic Stadium,... and today's opening ceremony will be told based on the journey of five children searching for answers to 'peace,'... featuring Korean legends and history as well as a flurry of performances that will showcase South Korea's rich culture.
