The International Olympic Committee has apologised after South Korea's delegation of athletes at the Paris Olympics opening ceremony on Friday was introduced as from North Korea. South Korea expressed regret after the incident and has demanded assurances from organisers the mistake will not happen again. As the boat carrying South Korean athletes passed on the Seine, the announcer introduced them as the "Democratic People's Republic of Korea" -- the official name of North Korea -- in French and English. The blue sign on the boat carrying the country's athletes did show the correct name. The announcer used the same name introduction when the North Korean delegation passed.
