A group of South Korean businessmen was to visit a joint industrial complex in North Korea Friday amid a row over wages for North Korean workers there, company officials said.

The two Koreas have been embroiled in the wage dispute as North Korea unilaterally decided in February to hike wages by 5.18 percent to US$74 per month for the about 53,000 North Korean workers at the Kaesong Industrial Complex in the border city of the same name.
