Kim Il-kuk Athletic Award and Chairman of the Chosun Olympics led the North Korean athletes to participate in the Pyeongchang Winter Olympics and was the face of North Korean sports that agreed to form a single team in the Tokyo Olympics.

But since July last year, it has disappeared completely and the doubts have been amplified.

Officials of the Korea Sports Association said, “The Kim Il-guk Sports Award is currently being forced to work in Pyongyang because it has done a wrong job abroad.

The Kim Il-kuk Athletic Award will be effectively purged and will have an impact on the Tokyo Olympic Games.

North Korea participated in the men's football qualifier last month and was eliminated, but did not participate in the women's football qualifier held in Jeju.

Wrestling, which is a bullish sport, has been making fun of it by signing up for the Asian Quarter next month.

When the North Koreans participate in the Olympics, they plan to join the opening ceremony and participate in the Judo single team.
