It will be the eighth batch of martyrs' remains returned since 2014, following a handover agreement signed by the two countries.
Before the repatriation, a ceremony will be held in the ROK on Sept. 1, according to the handover schedule agreed during a meeting between officials of the two countries on Monday.
