Don't accept the theory that the Asian Lavender is most responsible for unintentional mistakes
When Wang Minchao was interviewed by a radio program this morning, he reiterated that he does not accept or believe in unintentional mistakes. South Korea has hosted large-scale events such as the Asian Games: "I don't know how to do it."

The national anthem is a serious topic. In such a large-scale international competition, the front line (female intern) does not know, but there are people (person in charge) watching behind it.

Advocates should consider whether to still allow South Korea to host large-scale competitions

We should consider whether to allow South Korea to undertake large-scale competitions. Not only the Korean Rugby Federation, but also the entire National Olympic Committee. review.
When the national anthem is played and the national flag is raised, the president must make a decision. It is unreasonable to ask a low-level staff member to do it.

The moment when the national anthem was played wrongly, the athletes' reaction also attracted attention.
