At the opening ceremony of the Paris Olympics, the Korea delegation was undoubtedly the most injured. There was a major accident in the opening ceremony commentary, and the name of Korea was directly pronounced as North Korea, and now, the International Olympic Committee has also officially apologized.
The IOC apologized through the IOC Korean service account on social media, "We apologize for the mistake that occurred when introducing the Korea delegation during the broadcast of the opening ceremony. However, such an apology was not forgiven by Korea netizens, because the IOC's official English-language social media did not release an apology statement.
At the opening ceremony, the Korea delegation entered on a cruise ship, and they occupied the C position. However, the live narrator mistakenly referred to Korea as North Korea in French and English.
Immediately after the incident, the head of the Korea delegation sent a formal letter of protest, and the second vice minister of culture, sports and tourism, Jang Meilan, had requested a meeting with IOC President Thomas Bach, who was in Paris.
The Korea media Chosun Ilbo bluntly said that the accident was a historical shame. Korea netizens collectively fried the pot, and even bluntly said that this was racial discrimination. It is worth mentioning that the 153rd entry of the DPRK delegation was accurately introduced. According to the presentation, the DPRK appeared twice at the opening ceremony of the day. Indeed, quite heart-wrenching Korea.
