South Korea qualified seven artistic gymnasts into the Olympic competition: a full men's team of four, which will compete in the team competition, as well as one man and two women competing as individuals. The men's squad claimed one of nine remaining spots in the team competition at the 2019 World Championships in Stuttgart, Germany (China, Russia, & Japan had already qualified at the 2018 World Championships), and Shin Jea-hwan qualified through the World Cup Series, finishing first in the standings on men's VT. [68] On the women's side, Lee Yun-seo earned a berth through her placement in the all-around at the 2019 World Championships, while Yeo Seo-jeong, with her finish in the event finals on vault, secured an additional berth available for gymnasts who did not qualify through either the team or the all-around through the apparatus finals at the same event. [69] [70] The individual qualifiers, including those who qualified due to their performances on individual events, are eligible to compete in all events at the Olympics. [68]

South Korean politicians took issue with a map of the torch relay on the Games' official website, which depicted the disputed Liancourt Rocks (territory claimed by Japan but governed by South Korea) as part of Japan. "South Korea, through the Japanese embassy in South Korea, has lodged a protest on the issue," Japan's then cabinet secretary Yoshihide Suga said, "Japan told the South Korean side that the protest is not acceptable given that Japan owns Takeshima and given Japan's position on the Sea of Japan." [141]

The South Korean government also called for a ban of the Rising Sun Flag in the Olympic Games, due to being considered to be offensive as a consequence of its usage by the Imperial Japanese military during World War II. In September 2019, the South Korean parliamentary committee for sports asked the organisers of 2020 Summer Olympics in Tokyo to ban the Rising Sun Flag. [142]

On 8 August 2021, the final day of the Tokyo 2020 Summer Olympics, the South Korean Olympic Committee announced, "The IOC has declared in a letter that the Rising Sun Flag violates the Olympic Charter. It will be banned at the Olympics." In response, the Tokyo Organising Committee of the Olympic Games announced on 9 August, "The announcement by the South Korean Olympic Committee is not true. When we contacted the IOC, we confirmed that the IOC will continue to respond to the issue on a case-by-case basis and will not impose a blanket ban. On the morning of 9 August, the IOC sent a letter to South Korea indicating that the use of the flag will be determined on a case-by-case basis." [143] [144]
