放错韩国国歌,亚运组委会致歉
The organizing committee of the Aichi-Nagoya Asian Games has apologized for mistakenly playing the national anthem of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea before a men's hockey match involving the Republic of Korea, Seoul's sports governing body said on Saturday.
这次错播国歌事件发生在18日的男子曲棍球A组韩国队对阵孟加拉国队的比赛前。赛前仪式上,韩国运动员面向本国国旗等待国歌奏响时,现场却播放了朝鲜国歌。
韩国媒体《每日经济新闻》19日援引大韩体育会公布的信息,事发当晚9时左右,亚组委负责参赛国家和地区事务的主管等两名负责人到访韩国代表团办公室,就国歌播放失误表达歉意。
据韩联社报道,事件发生后,大韩体育会立即商讨应对措施,并以韩国体育代表团团长的名义向亚组委发出正式抗议函,要求说明事件经过、正式道歉,并采取措施防止类似事件再次发生。大韩体育会会长柳承敏表示,国歌是国家象征,国际综合性运动会上不应发生此类失误。
After playing the DPRK anthem at Friday's game between the ROK and Bangladesh in Gifu Prefecture, the organizing committee apologized later the same day following an official complaint from the Korean Sport & Olympic Committee (KSOC).
"It is absolutely unacceptable for the national anthem, a symbol of our nation, to be performed incorrectly at an international multisport event, and we view this matter with the utmost seriousness," KSOC President Ryu Seung-min said, according to Yonhap News Agency.
"We will continue to demand that the organizing committee thoroughly investigate the cause of this incident and implement measures to prevent its recurrence," Ryu added.
