On the 27th (Korea Standard Time), the IOC issued an apology on the SNS Korean account, saying, `We deeply apologize for the mistakes that occurred when introducing the Korean team during the opening ceremony broadcast.'
However, he has been criticized again for posting an apology only to Korean accounts, not official accounts such as English.
In response, Sungshin Women's University Professor Seo Kyung-duk said, `The IOC and the organizing committee of the Paris Olympics made a sincere apology to the Korean side in various ways yesterday and promised to prevent a recurrence.'
Professor Seo said, `Apologies are important to the Korean side, but we must also apologize to viewers around the world who watched the opening ceremony of the Paris Olympics together.'
In particular, he sent an e-mail to the IOC, emphasizing that "an apology should be posted on SNS accounts in other languages such as English and French at the same time, and that it should be promised to prevent recurrence through various media around the world."
He also said, `First of all, the IOC must remember that this is not the first time the IOC has confused South Korea and North Korea"He reminded me of the incident when he posted the Korean flag on the electronic display board while introducing North Korean players ahead of the soccer game at the London Olympics.
