The organizing committee of the 2024 Paris Olympics expressed regret over the Catholic community's opposition to the scene in which male (drag queen) performers appeared as apostles of Jesus in the 「Last Supper" at the opening ceremony of the 2024 Paris Olympics. Paris Olympic Organizing Committee spokesman Anne Desang said on the 29th (Korean time) "If people were offended, of course, it would be regrettable.'
A parody of Leonardo da Vinci's 'The Last Supper' was staged at the opening ceremony. Da Vinci's 'The Last Supper' is a picture of Jesus having dinner with the apostles for the last time before his arrest and death. At the opening ceremony, drag queen performers gathered around a woman dressed in blue in front of a long table, who were described as apostles of Jesus.
It was intended to emphasize France's satirical tradition, but some criticized that it excessively ignored religious sensitivity. Bishop Robert Barron, a `Star' religious man of the United States and the diocese of Winona and Rochester, Minnesota, expressed his anger, `What can I see other than this disgusting mockery of the Last Supper?````````````````````.
The organizing committee was intended to commemorate the spirit of 'Tolerance' (tolerance) of the community while expressing regret over the opposition from the religious community. There was never an intention to ignore any religious circles"I think this intention is well-represented" he said.
The opening ceremony was followed by an absurd accident. He made a ridiculous mistake introducing the South Korean team as 'North Korea' when he entered the venue, the flower of the opening ceremony. At that time, South Korea entered for the 48th time with Woo Sang-hyuk and Kim Seo-young as the riders. The problem was the mouth of the in-house announcer. Instead of 'Republic of Korea', it was introduced as 'Democratic People's Republic of Korea'. Prior to the introduction of English, South Korea was also introduced as North Korea (Republique populaire democratique de Coree).
The Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism and the Korean Olympic Committee immediately raised the issue with the International Olympic Committee (IOC) and urged them to prevent the recurrence of such a situation. As a result, IOC President Thomas Bach personally apologized to President Yoon Suk Yeol and posted an apology on his official website.
There was another problem. The Nigerian women's basketball team was denied entry to the ship in a march on board. The Associated Press reported that the Nigerian women's basketball team was denied boarding and was unable to attend the marches on board. According to reports, a competition official blocked them from boarding a cruise ship because there were `too many people on board.' The Nigerian women's basketball team, which was rejected, reportedly turned to the athletes' village. He couldn't even participate in the festival, and he wasted time on the road and only deteriorated his condition.
In Trocadero Square, where the opening ceremony was held, a small accident faded the meaning of the opening ceremony, with the Olympic symbol, the Olympic flag, upside down.
