How on earth can they make such a mistake at an international event? Unbelievable!

[menagerie]

Imagine Ukraine at the Olympics and France say It’s Team Russia 😅😅🙃

[Mistah]

They raised the Olympic flag upside down and now this.

[Koko-sznk]

That is just ridiculous!
Imagine if they announced USA as RUSSIA!

평등을 외치면서 정작 남한 북한 구분도 못하는 프랑스ㅋㅋ
France calls for equality but can't even tell the difference between South and North Korea.😂😂
La France réclame l’égalité mais ne sait même pas faire la différence entre la Corée du Sud et la Corée du Nord.😂😂

[JaydenKim-yklw]

How are they willing to take care of this such international and massive even if they don't even know the names of the countries?🤣

올림픽 위원회는 최대한 이슈화 되는것을 막기위해서
한국어 사과문을 발표 하고 다른언어로 사과문은 발표하지 않았다
자신들의 치부를 사과하지 않고 숨기려하고있다
나는 이것을 모욕이라 생각한다

그냥 말이 안됨. 최대 스포츠 행사에서 한 국가의 이름을 잘못 소개하는게 어떻게 가능한 건가 😮

[allahlesboslu_]

Kim Jong un was the happiest guy that day 😂😂😂

[cqwmhgk]

Marie Antoinette, if you look at France right now, you'll be smiling😊

[laclairdelune]

인종차별이라기에는 그냥 준비가 너무 미흡한 듯... 한국뿐만 아니라 '튀르키예'도 '튀니지'라고 sns에서 표기한 걸 보면...
또 파리 시민들이 원하지 않았는 데도 막무가내로 올림픽 추진한 정부도 이해할 수가 없다

Kim Jong Un: "Wrongly introduced...for now."

[AS-rxyk]

No mistake. They thought they were being trendy. Just look at the ceremony in general. Now with all the backlash, they then lied this was a mistake.

[mister_]

I've heard that France is referred to as the "China of Europe" because they do in Europe like as Chinese do in the world😅

[wang-jzgy]

North Korean People's Television repeatedly broadcast the footage of the mistake, and the TV host highly praised the Paris Olympic Committee officials, calling it the greatest historical moment

[TyraCruz]

Let's call France, the former colony of Germany next time.

[Lee.Hsien-Yung]

South Korea's official name is the Republic of Korea and North Korea's official name is the DPRK, which can be seen from the flags of the two Koreas

[TV-rfhq]

Worst opening ceremony ever, and I realized that every country enjoys festivals appropriate to its level. 😅

[igi]

Worst opening ceremony ever ....insulting christian too.
France isnt the best place for Olympic, its not the same France we know anymore... Gangraped, train attack, uncooked food, ...the list goes on.

South Korean fencers Oh Sanguk was also misspelled his name🤦🏻‍♂️
