June: apparently Japan is still figuring out how to handle North Korea's athletes in a semi-normal way
Elias: what if they only let athletes from 'reliable' countries participate? kinda defeats the whole purpose of the games, right?
Sanab: i'm curious who thought it was a good idea for north and south to share a stage together again
Amir: let's not forget what really matters here - will the games even happen with everything else going on? 🤞
Zoesharmaxo: hope japan doesn't get cold feet this time around. last thing we need is another diplomatic faux pas
Zero Corvid: saw some pretty dodgy gymnastics from Japan when they allowed North Korea to participate last time
Bruno: silly me thinking they'd actually have a say in this, apparently it's up to the IOC
Nora: who let north korea on stage without security
Obsidian Raven: north korea showing up to the table, that's a development
Diegow: surprised they're considering it, given relations lately
Arlo: not sure what's more surprising - that north korea's committing to the games or that their participation is causing a stir. japan should've seen it coming, though
