Repeated 'mistakes' make people wonder if France has any 'personal grudge' against Korea.
First of all, at the opening ceremony, the Korea delegation was mistakenly called 'North Korea' [laughing and crying], which made Korea netizens instantly fry the pot.
Then, in the cruise picture released by the official social media of the Paris Olympic Organizing Committee, only the Korea flag was blurred, and the faces of Korea athletes were also obscured. What's more, when the official account congratulated Wu Shangxu on winning the first gold in Korea, he misspelled his name!
This series of operations made Korea netizens doubt life.
They flocked to the comments section of the Paris Organising Committee's Instagram account, asking in Korean, English and French whether France had any 'personal grudges' against Korea.
Korea media "Chosun Ilbo" even bluntly said that these "mistakes" made the Paris Olympics suspected of "discrimination" against Korea.
Some Korea netizens made up for France, saying that during the 2018 Pyeongchang Winter Olympics, Korea TV suspected of 'mislabeling the France flag as the Russia flag'. But this claim has not been confirmed.
Let's take a look back at these moments of controversy. At the opening ceremony of the Paris Olympics, the Korea flag was photographed, and the Korea athletes did not show their faces.

In contrast, the flags of other countries are clearly visible, and the athletes' energy is in full view. This can't help but make people wonder, is it really 'nothing more than three'?
In the midst of this Olympic turmoil, a Korea netizen left a message: "Only the photos of Korea are blurry, please also upload clear photos of Korea." Another asked, "Why only upload photos of Korea in the void?" And why was the entrance to the opening ceremony of Korea introduced as North Korea? ”
This is not only a mistake of the Olympic Games, but also touches the sensitive nerve of national dignity. In a globally focused sports event, the negligence of any detail can be magnified and interpreted, let alone such a "continuous mistake".
Imagine what would happen to the Korea delegation if it happened to other countries.
Don't forget, one of the charms of sporting events is their fairness and respect. When these basic principles are challenged, even seemingly trivial "mistakes" are enough to stir up a thousand waves.
It is worth noting that despite such controversies, the Olympics continued. The performance of the athletes is at the heart of this event.
Korea's Oh Sang-wook won the gold medal even though his name was misspelled, doesn't this reflect the true meaning of sports beyond controversy and back to competition itself?
Of course, technical failures cannot be grounds for ignorance. These "oversights" of the Paris Organising Committee, whether unintentional or otherwise, should be confronted and improved. After all, tolerance and respect are just as important as performance in the Olympic spirit.
Returning to those Korea netizens who "team building" in the comment section, their behavior also demonstrates the power of citizen diplomacy to a certain extent.
And that's not all.
Ladies and gentlemen, do you know how this fire burns? ”
On the 28th Beijing time, in the men's saber final of the Paris Olympics, Korea's Wu Sangxu fought fiercely and finally defeated the Tunisia player with a score of 15-11 and won the gold medal.
This was the first gold medal of the Korea delegation in this Olympic Games, a moment of glory, but I did not expect to be embarrassed by a spelling mistake by the Paris Olympic Organizing Committee.
"Oh Sang-wook", "Oh sanguk", such a resounding name, was mistakenly written as "Oh sangku" by the Paris Olympic Organising Committee on Instagram, and the ending was reversed in reverse alphabetical order.
This is really "one misstep into a thousand years of hatred", which instantly aroused the anger of Korea netizens. Someone bombarded in the comment area: "What is this level of error, not a mistake?" ”
More careful people listed the "three sins" of the Paris Olympic Organizing Committee: mispronouncing the name of Korea, blurring the Korea flag, and misspelling the name of Korea.
This series of mistakes makes people wonder if France has any "deep hatred" for Korea.
The online fury didn't stop there.
Some screenshots circulated wildly on social media, first the Korea flag was mislabeled, and then France passers-by mistakenly recognized the Korea flag as the Pepsi logo.
This series of "oolong incidents" made Korea netizens shout: "France people open their eyes every day to make Koreans angry." ”
However, ladies and gentlemen, don't drink water, for fear that you will laugh.
Things are not what we imagined. Those screenshots that make Korea "break the defense" are actually mostly old pictures, or "pots" from other TV stations.
The screenshot of France television, which was accused of using the wrong Korea flag, was actually from a news report in January, not during the Paris Olympics.
Moreover, the widely circulated video of France passers-by recognizing the Korea flag as the Pepsi logo was also old news two years ago.
Sometimes, the hustle and bustle on the Internet does not represent the truth of the facts. We should look at these so-called "mistakes" rationally, instead of blindly blaming and venting.
It is worth mentioning that the France woman who was picked by the street, she was not "targeted" at Korea, she just lacked the knowledge of the national flag, and even mistook the Australia flag for the European Union.
Back to the incident of Wu Shangxu's name being miswritten, this is indeed a pity. But for the Paris Organising Committee, it was undoubtedly a lesson. As an international organization, it should pay more attention to details and respect every country and athlete. And for us, as spectators and netizens, we should also learn to be tolerant and understanding, and not let a momentary mistake affect our enjoyment of sports competition.
In closing, I would like to say that the Paris Olympics are still going on, and let's focus on the hard work and effort of the athletes, rather than on these inconsequential mistakes.
Remember, the true Olympic spirit transcends borders, races and languages and is a symbol of unity, friendship and fair play.
