South Korea At The 2004 Summer Olympics

South Korea competed as Korea at the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens, while North Korea competed as the Democratic People's Republic of Korea. 264 competitors, 145 men and 119 women, took part in 149 events in 25 sports.

Both North Korea and South Korea marched together in the Parade of Nations at the Opening and Closing Ceremonies under the Unification Flag, a white flag showing the united Korean Peninsula in blue. They had two flagbearers carrying the flag together at each occasion, one representing the North and the other representing the South. The female athletes and staff wore red blazers, while their male counterparts wore blue. Although they marched together, the teams competed separately and had separate medal tallies.
