When the North Korean national team appeared with the North Korean national flag in front, the North Korean women's cheering squad stared at the ground with reverential expressions, and then cheered '100 per person' when the game started.

The cheering slogan was simple.

The North Korean female cheering squad cheered on the players with slogans that both South Korean and North Korean citizens can easily understand, such as "You're good, you're good, our players are good," and "Win."

North Korea unilaterally boycotted the 2021 Tokyo Olympics due to COVID-19 and was suspended by the International Olympic Committee (IOC), and the suspension was lifted on December 31 last year.

North Korea, which has gradually appeared in international competitions in each sport this year, dispatched close to 200 athletes to the Hangzhou Asian Games.

According to MyInfo, the official information site of the Hangzhou Asian Games Organizing Committee, North Korea registered a total of 191 athletes, including 112 women and 79 men, in 18 sports.

It has been five years since the 2018 Asian Games in Jakarta and Palembang that North Korea dispatched athletes to a multi-sports competition such as the Olympics and Asian Games.

The North Korean female cheering squad, which attracted as much attention as the players, returned to the 'international stage'.

The North Korean female cheering squad attracted attention by visiting South Korea and cheering at the 2002 Busan Asian Games, the Daegu Summer Universiade in August 2003, the Incheon Asian Games in August 2014, and the 2018 Pyeongchang Olympics.

At the 2016 Rio de Janeiro Olympics and the 2018 Asian Games in Jakarta and Palembang, North Korean cheering squads consisting of men and women were also seen.

The Hangzhou Asian Games opens on the 23rd, but the men's soccer preliminary schedule began on the 19th.
