South Korea's Unification Ministry says North Korea is still refusing to accept a list of reporters the South wants to send to the North to cover the shutdown of a nuclear test site.
The ministry said it resubmitted the list on Monday but North Korea rejected it. It was initially submitted and rejected on Friday last week.
Pyongyang has announced that it will dismantle the Punggye-ri test site between Wednesday and Friday this week. It said it will allow Journalists from 5 nations, including South Korea and the United States, to cover the work.
US and other foreign media personnel obtained entry visas at the North Korean Embassy in Beijing on Monday. They are expected to fly to Pyongyang on Tuesday.
A US research group says satellite images taken on May 15th show what appears to be a media observation stand near the tunnel at the Punggye-ri test site.
Pyongyang abruptly cancelled inter-Korean talks last week after taking issue with a US-South Korean regular joint military exercise.
The rejection of the list of reporters is believed to be an attempt to put pressure on Seoul. North Korea has recently stepped up its criticism of the South.

NHK has learned that police have received a complaint about a serious foul committed during an American football match between 2 Japanese university teams.
During the May 6th game in Tokyo, a Nihon University defender tackled a Kwansei Gakuin University quarterback from behind after the player had thrown a pass. The quarterback suffered injuries that will take 3 weeks to heal.
Investigative sources say the injured player reported the incident to the police.
On Saturday, the head coach of the Nihon University team, Masato Uchida, apologized and said he intends to resign.
But Uchida did not comment on an allegation that he instructed the defender to commit the foul. He said he will respond to that question in writing.
The father of the injured Kwansei Gakuin quarterback says he is not satisfied with Uchida's response because he didn't explain why the defender carried out the dangerous tackle.
Tokyo police are expected to launch an investigation of the case.

The top-league teams of a collegiate American football association in eastern Japan have issued a statement renewing their pledge to support sportsmanship and fair play, after a player was injured in a dangerous tackle.
Fifteen of the 16 teams in the first division of the Kantoh Collegiate Football Association issued the joint statement on Monday in response to the tackle by a Nihon University athlete that took place on May 6th.
Nihon University belongs to the first division, but it is not among the signatories.
The statement says the sport is facing a crisis it has never experienced before, and that the signatories are deeply worried about its future.
It also says respect for one's opponents and a spirit of fair play are at the very foundation of the sport. It takes a quote from the rulebook that says unfair tactics or intentionally harming opponents will never be tolerated.
The statement adds that anyone who engages in the sport should keep this in mind.
The 15 teams are calling on the association to set up a third-party panel to look into the tackle in question, which was made during a game against Kwansei Gakuin University in western Japan.

The Tokyo Stock Exchange's benchmark index closed above the 23,000 mark for the first time in about 3-and-a-half months on Monday.
The Nikkei Average finished at 23,002, up 72 points from Friday.
The broader TOPIX index ended at 1,813, down one point.
Market sources say buy orders prevailed on easing concerns over US-China trade friction and the yen's depreciation against the dollar.
But they say the gain was limited as investors placed sell orders to take profits.

Executives at Japanese electronics giant Hitachi will decide whether to build a nuclear power plant in Britain by the end of this month.
The decision for the 2-reactor project in Wales hinges on whether Hitachi can get financial support from the British government.
Hitachi Chairman Hiroaki Nakanishi is believed to have sought assistance from British Prime Minister Theresa May when they met earlier this month.
Sources familiar with the plan say British officials suggested offering about 18 billion dollars in loans. That would be roughly two-thirds of the expected total cost.
Hitachi is also asking the British government how much it can pay for electricity from the envisioned plant.

The first known injury resulting from the eruption of Kilauea volcano has been reported in Hawaii. The volcano continues to erupt and spew molten rock.
Local authorities say a man, who lives in a residential area east of the volcano, was on his balcony on Saturday when lava spatter hit his leg. He was seriously injured.
The US Geological Survey says that lava is still spewing out from fissures, and that some has reached the ocean on the east side of Hawaii Island.
Since the eruption occurred on May 3rd, about 40 buildings and other structures have been destroyed. Some 2,000 people have sought shelter.
Toxic sulfur dioxide gas from the eruption continues to be detected in some areas. State authorities have ordered additional evacuations.
Officials are urging people to exercise extreme caution, as the situation could change rapidly and larger eruptions could occur.

Demand for vacation apartments is growing in Japan and companies are rolling out ways to make guests feel as welcome as possible. One recent entrant is convenience store chain FamilyMart.
Executives at FamilyMart say the company will offer a check-in service for Airbnb users starting in June.
They plan to make it available at 150 stores, mainly in Tokyo and Osaka, by February 2019.
Guests will be able to pick up keys for holiday rentals from lock boxes in stores. The system will use a tablet to take pictures of users and scan passport information. The box will open once identity is confirmed.
Executive Vice President Takashi Sawada said, "I believe there will be more foreign tourists coming to Japan. If they use Airbnb and have a good time shopping at our stores, that would make us happy."
Rival firms are making similar moves.
Lawson has installed key lockboxes for vacation apartments at some of its Tokyo stores.
Seven-Eleven Japan is tying up with Japanese travel agency JTB to offer check-in and other services beginning in June.
