A South Korean soccer club has apologised after being accused of putting sex dolls in empty seats during a match yesterday in Seoul.
TVNZ News reports cheering mannequins were installed at the empty spectators' seats before the start of a soccer match between FC Seoul and Gwangju FC at the Seoul World Cup Stadium in Seoul, South Korea.
In a statement, FC Seoul expressed "sincere remorse" over the controversy, but insisted that it used mannequins — not sex dolls — to mimic a home crowd during its 1-0 win over Gwangju FC at the Seoul World Cup stadium.
FC Seoul said it was attempting to add "an element of fun" with the mannequins.
The team said it was repeatedly reassured by Dalkom, the company that produced the mannequins, that they weren't sexual products.
