ai generated text
The International Olympic Committee (IOC) has apologized for a mistake during the opening ceremony of the Paris Olympics, where South Korean athletes were incorrectly introduced as North Korean. The announcers referred to them as the "Democratic People's Republic of Korea", which is the official name of North Korea. This mistake was repeated in both French and English, and was only corrected when North Korea's team was introduced separately. The IOC has apologized for the error, stating that South Korea is officially known as the Republic of Korea. IOC president Thomas Bach has also announced that he will meet with South Korean President Yoon Suk-yeol to discuss the matter.
We would like to offer a deep apology over the mistake that occurred in the introduction of the South Korean delegation during the opening ceremony.
