South Korea wrongly introduced as North Korea at Paris 2024 Olympics. #Paris2024 #Olympics #BBCNews

The worst part is that French news doesn't even report their mistake as if it weren't a big mistake. They're acting like they got the wrong order at a Paris restaurant

[davidc]

Horrible and worse, not only olympic flag was upside down, even annoucing the wrong country. just terrible

[danniton]

The level of incompetence is really astounding.

[NikhilPatil-ulmk]

Its like calling Ukraine as Russia or Palestine as Israel

[dgvdsk]

It is a complete disregard for the country and its people. France should apologize to Korea

[loveh]

국제대회인 올림픽에서 이런 커다란 실수를 한것은 이해할수없는 불쾌한 일이다 프랑스는 분명 진심으로 사과해야한다

They entirely skipped announcing Qatar also.
They announced everybody else. God, just entirely skipped over them. They announced the two other countries on the same ship and literally skip the country that was sitting in the middle.
Cameraman was focusing on them and everything. The announcers didn't say anything about them but, spoke about each other team on the ship

I thought only Americans fail Geography badly, didn't know France share the same classroom.😂😂

Bloody hell, France. This is the olympics. You had applied for this. If you're going to half arse it, why bother.

어떻게 국가명을 잘못부를수있지 ? 일부러 그런거지? 프랑스는 최악이다

[al-paciyes]

This ceremony was so horrible...even the Olympics flag turned upside down in disgust

[vxzgwmt]

France should apologize;;;; this is absolutely a big mistake

[dztgfti]

Imagine if in the 1988 Korea Olympics, they introduced West Germany as East Germany. West German would have taken it with great contempt

[imgonnabeastar]

Some people in the comments don't even realise how disrespectful this is.

They are *still* at war y'all!! There's a reason why there's mandatory military service for men in south korea!

(Edit: To some of y'all replying to my comment. You have been given a life to live and you choose to spend it being racist and xhenophobic. That's sad...
my sincere prayers go out to you.)

[有]

France really needs to apologize for such a huge mistake. It's disrespectful and embarrassing.

[pourquoipas]

What a huge diplomatic mistake ! As a french citizen i feel ashamed . EM should apologize for the whole country

[amanverma]

Introduce china as taiwan and usa as russia 😂😂😂😂

[Ross-umbc]

that's like mistaking Ukraine for Russia

[qksgcjs]

두 번이나 한 국가를 상대로 실수가 있었다면 이건 명백한 고의입니다. 부끄러운줄 아세요

[karenlis]

Seriously France, what's happening?
