Paris kicked off the 2024 Summer Olympics with a magnificent opening ceremony and a bit of an embarrassment.

The International Olympic Committee (IOC) has issued an official apology to South Korea for having incorrectly introduced Seoul’s delegation as from North Korea during the athletes’ parade on the River Seine.

“We sincerely apologize for the mistake that occurred when introducing the South Korean delegation during the opening ceremony broadcast,” IOC said on its official Korean-language account on X.
