South Korea Mistakenly Introduced as North Korea At Olympics Opening
“…South Korea’s sports ministry expressed regret on Saturday over a mistake during the Paris Olympics’ opening ceremony where its athletes were incorrectly introduced as North Korean. The incident occurred when the French-speaking presenter introduced the South Korean delegation using North Korea’s official name… The error has sparked displeasure in South Korea, which remains technically at war with North Korea since the Korean War ended in an armistice rather than a peace treaty in 1953.”
