During the Paris 2024 Olympics opening ceremony, South Korean athletes were mistakenly introduced as North Korea.
The International Olympic Committee (IOC) issued an apology, and South Korea’s Vice Minister of Culture, Sports, and Tourism, Jang Mi Ran, requested a meeting with IOC President Thomas Bach.
South Korea’s Foreign Ministry was asked to file a formal complaint with the French government. IOC President Thomas Bach also personally apologized to South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol.
