Seoul had previously been scheduled to host the 1970 games, but it received security threats from neighbouring North Korea, forcing it to give up hosting the games to previous 1966 host Bangkok, Thailand.
Bidding process
Baghdad, Iraq; Pyongyang, North Korea; and Seoul, South Korea were the bidding cities for the Games, but during the process Baghdad and Pyongyang withdrew, leaving Seoul as only bidding city.第10届亚运会概况—1986年汉城亚运会 https://sports.qq.com/a/20100329/001205.htm Tencent Sports 11 February 2019
