In the early morning of July 27, Beijing time, at the opening ceremony of the Paris Olympic Games, when athletes from various countries appeared on the boat, the Korea sports delegation encountered a controversial moment, because the live broadcast pronounced "Korea" as "North Korea", and both French and English were mispronounced, which made the Korean people very dissatisfied, for a time, this "oolong accident" caused a huge controversy on the social platform in Korea!
As we all know, it rained non-stop at the opening ceremony, and according to the established schedule, the Korea team was the 48th to enter, with high jumper Woo Sang-hyuk and swimmer Kim Seo-young as flag bearers, and a total of more than 50 players participated in the opening ceremony.
When the Korea delegation's patrol boat passed, the rain became heavier and heavier, and many athletes wore transparent raincoats, but they still looked more embarrassed, but the low-level mistakes of the announcer of the opening ceremony may have made the Koreans "heartbroken".
At that time, the Korea athletes on the ship were still relatively excited, emotional, and caught in the carnival of the opening ceremony, but they were all dumbfounded after hearing it clearly, and the Korean people in front of the TV also heard it firmly and clearly, and the announcer really mispronounced it, and categorically shouted "Democratic People's Republic of Korea", saying that the English name of Korea was North Korea.
If the names of other countries are mispronounced, the turmoil may not be so big, but South Korea and North Korea are different, no matter who mispronounces whom, it will cause dissatisfaction on both sides, and many netizens ridiculed: "It's okay to be drenched like this, the name has been changed." ”
Indeed, on such a solemn occasion as the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games, the influence of the wrong pronunciation of the national name is very large, almost equivalent to the misplacement of the national anthem at the championship ceremony, or the situation of the national flag falling, of course, some people analyze that it may be that there was a mistake in the order of appearance of the Korea team and the North Korean team, which eventually led to the reversal of the national name, what do you think about this?
