The unwanted guest made a daring entrance, sliding down a long icy chute to reach the performers before being wrestled out by security officials.
The invasion came just after the two Koreas had marched into the stadium behind the blue-and-white unification flag, possibly indicating the stunt was politically motivated.
Police said no arrests were made, while South Korea organisers confirmed the incident but were unable to give further details when contacted by AFP.
As the two Koreas marched together in sub-zero temperatures, South Korea's president shared a historic handshake with Kim Jong Un's sister as the Games marked a thaw in the often frosty relations on the peninsula.
South and North Korea last marched together at the 2006 Winter Olympics in Turin. They also made the symbolic gesture at the opening of the 2000 and 2004 Olympics in Sydney and Athens.
