At the 2024 Paris Olympics, athletes from North and South Korea shared a rare moment of unity by taking a selfie on the podium after competing in the mixed doubles table tennis event. South Korea won bronze, while North Korea secured silver, with China's team taking gold. Lim Jong-hoon of South Korea captured the photo using a Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 6, marking a historic moment as the Olympics allowed personal smartphones for the first time during medal ceremonies. This gesture of camaraderie comes amid ongoing geopolitical tensions between the two nations, highlighting the spirit of sports diplomacy. The selfie was celebrated across media platforms, with many praising it as a symbol of peace and reconciliation. However, this moment of joy followed a previous incident where South Korean athletes were mistakenly announced as North Korean during the opening ceremony, leading to an IOC apology.
