Members of South Korea’s men’s field hockey team were left bewildered on Friday after North Korea’s national anthem was played in error before their Asian Games match against Bangladesh.

Unsure how to react, the players stood looking on as the music played. Several remained at attention, some ran their hands through their hair, and others held their hands over their hearts.
