apologize! The International Skating Federation introduces Masayoshi Asada using the pejorative term "JAP"

On Wednesday, the International Skating Federation (ISU) tweeted about the retired japanese figure skater Masayoshi Asada, listing her remarkable achievements to date. Unfortunately, the Japanese abbreviation is incorrectly used in the text.

It turns out that the abbreviation of "mao asada(jap)" in "jap" is not "jpn" but a pejorative and derogatory "jap" for Japan. Many Japanese netizens left messages to put forward centralized criticism, and yesterday the International Skating Federation apologized on Twitter.

"I'm sorry I wrote the wrong Japanese abbreviation", "We have always used the abbreviation correctly, but this time because of the mistake in the hurry, it will not happen a second time in the future." Subsequently, Asada's tweet was re-submitted and revised to "mao asada(jpn)".
