FIFA U-20 Women's World Cup
Korea Republic face Ghana next on Wednesday while France take on Ecuador.
Korea Republic took the lead in the 12th minute through Colombia 2024 veteran Jo Hye-young, whose brilliant looping effort sailed over France goalkeeper Alyssa Fernandes and into the net.
France, however, found their way back into the contest in the 36th minute when Naolia Traore produced a sublime strike from distance.
The forward unleashed an exquisite low drive from 30 yards that nestled into the corner to draw Les Bleuettes level.
Korea Republic had a glorious opportunity to snatch victory late on after a mistake in the French defence presented Baek Seo-yeong with a clear sight of goal, but she dragged her effort narrowly wide.
