During the 2024 Paris Olympics, North Korean athletes made headlines when they took “victory selfies” with South Korean and Chinese athletes, despite being excluded from receiving the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 6 Olympic Edition due to UN sanctions. The photos quickly went viral, symbolizing a brief moment of unity amidst political tensions. The South Korean dude took the selfie. The Chinese lady suggested a different angle.

According to reports from Daily NK on August 21, the athletes and their delegation are now facing ideological inspections in Pyongyang. The North Korean Olympic Committee is reportedly conducting a strict evaluation of the athletes’ actions, raising concerns about potential punishments. This development highlights the severe restrictions and scrutiny that North Korean athletes endure, even when participating on the global stage.
