South Korea's National Anthem Error at Asian Games: North Korea's Anthem Played Instead

During the national anthem ceremony prior to the men's field hockey match between South Korea and Bangladesh at the Aichi-Nagoya Asian Games held at the Green Stadium in Gifu Prefecture, Japan, North Korea's national anthem was erroneously played instead of South Korea's.

The stadium announcer immediately apologized, but the South Korean national anthem did not play right away; instead, Bangladesh's national anthem was played first.

The South Korean national anthem finally rang out belatedly amidst a somewhat chaotic atmosphere after both teams began exchanging greetings.

Following controversies surrounding the restriction of the South Korean flag before the opening and the appearance of Toyotomi Hideyoshi, another absurd incident unfolded.
