Korean Pool, the South Korean broadcasting unit for the Beijing Olympic Games, has officially apologized to the Beijing Olympic Organizing Committee for leaking out footage of rehearsals of the opening ceremony by a Korean TV station.

In Beijing, head of the Korea broadcasting team Jeff Kim said the station has taken down all the footage from its website and it will face consequences for spoiling the opening ceremony.

"We are shameful for what SBS has done. The TV station has received condemnation from the Beijing organizing committee. And the Korean Poll is discussing how to punish them."

In the meantime, the International Olympic Committee has also expressed shock over leakage of the footage. Kevan Gosper, chief of the IOC Press Commission, told reporters that SBS violated conventions between the host country and broadcasters providing that the opening ceremony be kept secret until its official unveiling.

"I think we'd all like to go to the opening ceremony, waiting to see what is going to happen. Even volunteers who are allowed to go there keep mum about it and don't talk about it publicly. Koreans may think they did the right thing, but they did a disservice to the Olympics and the BOCOG."

The Beijing Olympic Organizing Committee has expressed its disappointment and condemnation to SBS. Sun Weide, a media official from the BOCOG, said Thursday world audiences can still expect surprises in the opening ceremony.

"The fragments cannot demonstrate the full picture of the spectacular opening ceremony. We hope audiences will wait for the wonderful performance when the Games open on August 8."　

The opening ceremony for the Beijing Olympic Games is directed by famous Chinese director Zhang Yimou. His team of elite artists has been preparing for the show for three years. It will showcase the essence of China's rich culture, and its vision for the future to the world.

国际在线报道(记者廖吉波 彭延媛)：北京奥组委新闻官员今天(8月1日)在北京证实，擅自泄露奥运会开幕式彩排影像的韩国首尔电视台(SBS)已向北京奥组委发出信函，正式道歉。

据北京奥组委新闻官员孙伟德介绍，在开幕式影像泄露事件发生后，北京奥组委立刻对SBS未经授权就播出彩排影像提出严正交涉，对这种做法表示了“强烈不满”；SBS电视台表示承认错误，并愿意进行书面道歉。

据悉，SBS电视台总部派出的代表8月1日下午会抵达北京，递交致歉信。孙伟德说：“今天下午，SBS(从韩国)派人到北京来，他们会转交一封SBS总裁给北京奥组委的道歉信。”

孙伟德代表北京奥组委表示，希望SBS电视台今后不要再做违反新闻从业道德的事：“我们希望SBS电视台能从这个事件中吸取教训，遵守奥运会报道的惯例，避免此类事件再次发生。”

7月28日，韩国SBS电视台记者获准进入“鸟巢”采访奥运会志愿者时，拍摄到了北京奥运会开幕式彩排画面。7月29日，该台在晚间新闻节目中播放了一段长达数分钟的彩排片断。该电视台这种做法受到了国际舆论一致批评。
