The South Korean team will be the 48th athlete to enter the opening ceremony of the Paris Olympics, which will be held on water for the first time ever.

The organizing committee of the competition announced the order of entry for the opening ceremony, which will be held from 2:30 AM (Korean time) on the 27th.

The opening ceremony of this Olympics will be held for the first time ever ‘outside the stadium’ on the Seine River. 15,000 athletes from 205 countries will ride on 100 boats and march through Paris’ iconic landmarks, which are 6km long.

The first country to enter is Greece, the birthplace of the modern Olympics. NBA star Giannis Antetokounmpo is the flag bearer.

Next, the refugee team enters, and from then on, they enter in order of the French alphabet.

The 48th South Korean team to enter the Seine Parade will be led by track and field athlete Woo Sang-hyeok (Yongin City Hall) and swimmer Kim Seo-yeong (Gyeongbuk Provincial Office). North Korea will be the 153rd.

Australia, which will host the 2032 Olympics in Brisbane, will be the 203rd country to host the Games, while the United States, which will host the 2028 Olympics in Los Angeles, will be the 204th. NBA player LeBron James will be the U.S. flag bearer.

The host nation, France, is last in line at number 205. Its flag bearers are swimming star Florent Manaudou and discus thrower Melina Robert-Michon.
