Olympic Hallyu丨French and British announcers uniformly pronounced South Korea as North Korea. Korean netizens: The worst Olympics in history
On the first competition day of the Paris Olympics, South Korean player Oh Sang-wook won the men's saber gold medal. However, the official social media of the Paris Olympics once again made a low-level mistake and misspelled Oh Sang-wook's name, which once again aroused strong dissatisfaction among Korean netizens.
At the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games, when South Korean athletes entered the stadium, they used the term "democratic people's republic of korea" when introducing South Korea in French and English. This own incident triggered strong dissatisfaction among Koreans.
The International Olympic Committee issued a public apology. Olympic Committee President Bach personally called South Korean President Yun Xiyue to apologize and said that this own incident was a "personal act" and "I will work hard to ensure that something like this never happens again."
However, On the first official match day, similar incidents occurred again. In the men's individual saber finals, South Korean athlete Oh Sang-wook won South Korea's first gold medal in this Olympics. However, the official social media of the Paris Olympics changed Oh Sang-wook's name "oh sanguk" to "oh sangku" (Oh Sang-kyu).
Such low-level mistakes once again aroused the dissatisfaction of Korean netizens. "Yesterday at the opening ceremony, we spelled the name of our country's competition wrongly, and today we spelled the name of the first gold medal winner wrongly. Go back to school, Paris Olympics!" "Even the name is wrong. It can be spelled wrong, such a mistake is too outrageous! "
It is worth mentioning that Wu Sangxu suffered a misjudgment at the Tokyo Olympics and was stopped in the fourth round. Three years later, he overcame the difficulties and won South Korea's first gold medal.
What dissatisfied Korean netizens is that the official account of the Paris Olympic Committee released photos of delegations from various countries at the opening ceremony on the 27th, but the picture of the Korean team only had a blurry Taegeuk flag. South Korean reporter Lee Jung-cheol said, "We cannot say that South Korea has been ignored based on this photo alone. However, after the wrong name of South Korea was mentioned at the opening ceremony, uploading a picture with the South Korean flag blurred will definitely cause controversy. Many netizens have protested and expressed their anger. Their actions can only disappoint Koreans."
