Why are some of these just 'Korea'? There are 16 different sports, of which 11 have 'South Korea' in their name and 5 have 'Korea'. And those five which have 'Korea' are: A1 GP, american football, badminton, basketball and field hockey. I don't find any point why just these are only 'Korea'. One is motor sports, one is not an actual team sport (badminton), and other three are plain team sports. Of those which have 'South Korea' only one is not primarily a team sport: tennis. 82.141.119.195 (talk) 13:10, 27 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Now badminton is South Korea, but the other four are still just Korea. I'd like to know why. 85.217.50.139 (talk) 00:23, 30 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
