"Isn't it Player Park Sang-young?"... Japan Makes Major Mistake in Fencing Gold Medal Broadcast

[Asia Economy Reporter Seoyoung Kwon] A Japanese broadcaster made a mistake by including a photo of a Korean athlete in a picture of their own men's fencing team that won the gold medal.

On the 30th, Fuji TV reported the news of their national team winning the gold medal in the men's team ?p?e event at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics, using a background photo of the four athletes. However, in the photo, one of the spots that should have been occupied by a Japanese athlete included Park Sang-young (26, Ulsan City Hall) from Korea.

In the photo, Park Sang-young was seen roaring while wearing a uniform labeled "KOREA." The captured image spread across various online communities and social networking services (SNS) in Korea, with netizens reacting, saying things like "Is the person in charge a fan of Park Sang-young?" and "This is exactly what people mean by a mistake."

On the same day, South Korea's men's ?p?e team (Park Sang-young, Kwon Young-jun, Song Jae-ho, Ma Se-geon) lost to Japan in the semifinals but advanced to the bronze medal match, where they defeated China to claim the bronze medal.
