The North Korean women's basketball team held an official media interview. North Korean coach Jung Sung-sim and guard Kang Hyang-mi were present at the meeting. However, when asked by reporters around the world, he did not get the answer he wanted. It was because a North Korean official who visited the press conference with the two said they were displeased with calling "North Korea" as "North Korea." The official blurred the atmosphere by asking for an official name instead of "North Korea."

South Korea beat North Korea 81-62 in the second Group C match of the 2022 Hangzhou Asian Games at Hangzhou Olympic Sports Center Gymnasium in Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province, China, on the 29th, and an official press conference was held afterward. The press conference began later than scheduled. This is because a North Korean official who was not scheduled to attend will come in with director Chung and Kang Mi-hyang. The official intervened in the interview while acting as an interpreter. Coach Chung and Kang Hyang-mi completed their impressions of the game and began a full-fledged question-and-answer session.

A Reuters reporter asked the first question. The content was, "I played as a single team in the last tournament, and I want to form a single team once again, and when I want it to be." At that time, a North Korean official said, "This question has nothing to do with today's game," adding, "I will not answer it." Director Chung and Kang Hyang-mi only looked into the air with stiff expressions. 토토사이트

The question continued, "The North Korean cheering squad sent passionate support, how do you feel?" and "It's been a long time since an international competition, and whether the food suits your taste." However, the North Korean official grabbed the microphone again, blocking an answer. "We are not 'North Korea' but DRP (Democratic People's Republic of Korea)," he said. "In the Asian Games, all countries should be correctly called." He then said, "This is not good," and demanded, "Apologize."

It has been confirmed that the North Korean official was not originally scheduled to attend. The department in charge of the official press conference also replied that they only knew the North Korean official as a "translator" but did not know exactly who he was. An official press conference host said, "The reason why the North Korean team appeared late at the press conference was because someone else asked to enter the press conference," adding, "We don't know who that person is or why he even entered the press conference."
