When South Korea was misidentified as North Korea at the Paris Olympics opening ceremony

The South Korean contingent at the Paris Olympics was mistakenly introduced as North Korea during the opening ceremony, causing diplomatic concerns. The mistake occurred when the announcer referred to the South Korean athletes as representing North Korea in both French and English. South Korea's Vice Minister for Sports and Culture, Jang Mi-ran, requested an urgent meeting with International Olympic Committee President Thomas Bach to address the issue.
