At the opening ceremony of the Paris Olympics, an unbelievable and absurd accident occurred from the beginning.
On the 26th, an in-house announcer introduced South Korea to North Korea at the opening ceremony of the Paris Olympics, where the team entered on a cruise ship along the Seine River in Paris.
About 50 South Korean athletes entered the country as the 48th out of 206 participating countries. According to the French alphabet `Coree" rather than the English alphabet 'Korea', it was followed by Cook Island. With swimming Kim Seo-young and high jump Woo Sang-hyuk as riders, the Taegeuk Warriors responded by waving the flag with a bright smile when the camera was illuminated.

Both French and English were words referring to North Korea. The official name of Korea is 'Republique de coree' in French and 'Republique of Korea' in English.
North Korea entered the country for the 153rd time according to the French notation. The in-house announcer said, "North Korea properly called out both French and English, and according to the in-house announcer's name, there is no South Korea at the Paris Olympics, and North Korea entered twice.
After confirming this fact, the South Korean team is discussing countermeasures through an emergency meeting. Deputy Minister of Culture, Sports and Tourism Jang Mi-ran and Korea Sports Council President Lee Ki-heung, who attended the opening ceremony, will visit the main press center at 2:30 p.m. on the 27th (local time) to announce their related positions.
