Daily NK reported that North Korean table tennis players Lee Jeong-sik and Kim Geum-yong were criticised for their behaviours after they took a selfie with fellow medalists from China and South Korea, whom the secluded country considers their "principle enemy". Prior to the Olympics, North Korean athletes were reportedly instructed to avoid contact with foreign athletes, including those from South Korea.
