COVID-19: FC Seoul ‘Sorry’ After Accidentally Using Sex Dolls to Replace Fans in Empty Ground
As the debate over how and when the Premier League should return rages on, a club in South Korea has shown the dangers of playing behind closed doors.
FC Seoul have apologised after they accidentally used sex dolls rather than normal mannequins to populate their stadium for Sunday’s game at home to Gwangju.
The club has admitted they ‘failed to make detailed checks’ after their supplier insisted the mannequins were not for sexual use.
The K League 1 game was being played without spectators as part of efforts to combat the coronavirus pandemic.
FC Seoul said their supplier, which provides both sex dolls and clothing mannequins, had let them down, having apparently assured the club that the dolls were not ‘adult products’.
“We had confirmed that the mannequins were made as if they were real but had nothing to do with adult products,” insisted a club statement.
“But the problem was we failed to make detailed checks, which is our fault without a doubt.”
In a statement posted on Instagram after the 1-0 win, the club said they were “deeply sorry” for what had happened.
