The opening ceremony of Paris Olympics 2024 took place with a grand ceremony. During this, a six-km parade started from the Austerlitz Bridge in which more than 6800 players from 205 countries were aboard in 85 boats and there was also a refugee Olympic team. At the same time, during the ceremony, the announcer made such a mistake that South Korea got angry.

In fact, when the South Korean team was sailing along the Seine River and joined the ceremony as the 48th participating nation, the announcer addressed them by the name of North Korea. He said in French, "République poplier démocratique de Corée" and then in English "Democratic People's Republic of Korea." South Korea expressed displeasure over this. On Saturday, the Sports Ministry of South Korea expressed displeasure over this mistake during the opening ceremony of the Paris Olympics and has proposed a meeting with the organizers.
