South Korea Outraged After Being Mistakenly Introduced as North Korea at Paris Olympics; IOC Apologizes
Jul 27, 2024, 08:56 AM
South Korea has expressed regret and outrage after its athletes were mistakenly introduced as being from North Korea during the opening ceremony of the 2024 Paris Olympics. The error occurred when both the French and English speakers announced the South Korean delegation as the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK), the official name for North Korea. In response, South Korea's National Olympic Committee has demanded a meeting with the International Olympic Committee (IOC) chief and assurances that such a mistake will not happen again. The IOC has apologized for the operational mistake, and an apology to South Korean President Yoon is also planned.
