Seoul Protests Olympics Opening Ceremony Blunder

South Korea protested after its athletes were wrongly introduced as North Korean during the Paris Olympics opening ceremony. Announcers used the official name of North Korea, the "Democratic People's Republic of Korea," instead of South Korea when the delegation arrived by boat. The International Olympic Committee apologized for the mistake.
