North Korean Cheerleader Mistakenly Applauds USA

One of the members of the normally stone-faced North Korean 'army of beauties' made a bit of a mistake in PyongChang...

She clapped for America.


GASP, right!?!?

The North Korean cheer-leading squad have notoriously been only clapping for their own athletes and sitting very still and quiet when it comes to other countries' athletes competing. That all changed when American skaters Alexa Scimeca Knierim and Chris Knierim took to the ice. Japanese news footage (seen below) caught one member of the squad methodically clapping politely for the pair until the girl next to her jabs an elbow into her side. The corrected cheerleader then quickly drops her hands.
