A historic anthem

Korea

The rapprochement between the two Koreas is taking shape. And it takes a sporting turn. For the first time, the South Korean anthem was played in North Korea, during an international junior weightlifting meet. An event made possible by the victory of a young South Korean in one of the weight categories of the event. According to witnesses, the public applauded the medal presentation and stood up during the anthem.
