Announcers (French and English) at the opening ceremony of the Paris Olympics mistakenly introduced South Korean athletes as North Koreans at the opening ceremony of the competition on Friday, the newspaper reported. BBC.
However, the caption had the correct name. North Korea’s official name, the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea, was used correctly when the North Korean delegation passed by.
South Korea’s sports minister said he planned to lodge a “strong complaint to France at the government level.” The International Olympic Committee apologized for the error on social media.
The South Korean delegation includes 143 athletes, while the North Korean delegation includes 16.
