One of the political difficulties facing the 1988 Seoul Olympic Games is how to open this worldwide event. That is to say, can the Republic of Korea cosponsor with the Democratic People's Republic of Korea? Needless to say, as the widespread involvement of youth in sports event is one of the basic purposes for the founding of our modern Olympic Games since 1986, the present situation proves the success of that intent in general. However, the phenomenal growth of interest in this big event has played it political role. The escalation of the political effect on the Olympic Games is radical between the Republic of Korea and the Democratic People's Republic of Korea. The IOC has to bear responsibility for the present state of affairs between these two countries. From this point of view, the IOC has expend a great effort to how to open the '88 Seoul Olympics, and has made approaches to these two countries. But its repeated attempts have been made without any noticeable result. Also, repeated attempts for this problem have been continued between these two countries. The author debated these problems, and pointed out that sport and politics are not separate problem, but one, especially in the rival countries. Because, sport, especially the Olympic Games as the big event can't refused the political effort.
