Professor Seo Kyung-duk of Sungshin Women's University misstated '#Judo' under the Taekwondo video as a result of checking with many Internet users" he said.
Since the opening ceremony of the Paris Olympics, an in-house announcer has introduced 'Korea' as 'North Korea', which has been a big controversy.
On the 28th, while delivering the news of Oh Sang-wook, who won the gold medal in the men's sabre individual fencing event, the organizing committee of the competition came to the English name of 'Oh Sang-gu'.
In addition, the French media produced the Korean flag by combining the flags of Korea and Japan, and introduced the Korean ranking on the medal tally chart, which was criticized for misusing the South African flag, not the Korean flag.
In particular, '9NEWS', one of Australia's most representative news, introduced the overall ranking of the Paris Olympics and marked the Korean national flag with the Chinese Five Star Red Flag.
In response, Professor Seo expressed concern that "misrepresentation of the Republic of Korea continues, reporting on the Paris Olympics from all over the world."
