The South Korean team will enter last, representing the host nation. The names of the nations will be announced in French, followed by English and South Korean, the official languages of the Olympic movement and the host nation, in accordance with traditional and IOC guidelines. The nations will enter in alphabetical order of their country's names in Korean.
