International Competitions

Normally, at international competitions, it is customary for medalists to take the first place together and take a commemorative photo.

Indonesia, which won the bronze medal, readily accepted the Korean team’s offer and rose to first place.

but they ignored them.

They showed no response to the Korean players’ request to tap their shoulders.

Regarding this, Reuters said, “What happened on the podium today is the latest controversy related to the long-isolated North Korean team,”

“The Korean War, which lasted from 1950 to 1953, ended with a ceasefire rather than a peace agreement,

meaning the two sides are technically still at war.”

“It means,” he said.
