Maybe it’s just a weird internet deja vu but didn’t something just like this happen in a recent Olympics?

That seems like a really easy mistake to not make. Like, has North Korea ever been to the Olympics?

Yes, they have a delegation there right now

Yes. They're mentioned in the third sentence of the article.
