A South Korean professional soccer club has apologized after being accused of putting sex dolls in empty seats during a match Sunday in Seoul.
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.
With players competing in front of rows of empty seats, some soccer and baseball teams have been trying to create a festive and humorous atmosphere that involves filling stands with huge team banners, pictures of mask-wearing fans, or even vegetables. But when providing its products for the stadium, Dalkom reused some of the mannequins it previously supplied to another company, which manages female video jockeys, after which some of the sex dolls were reportedly modeled, FC Seoul said.
