At the Paris Olympics opening ceremony, the South Korean delegation was incorrectly introduced as the "Democratic People's Republic of Korea", North Korea's official name. The mistake was repeated when the North Korean team was introduced. The South Korean Sports ministry expressed regret and sought assurances from organizers that such errors will not happen again. The incident occurred as the South Korean team entered the ceremony as the 48th participating nation. Organizers will likely take steps to ensure accurate introductions for the remainder of the games.
