FC Seoul insisted the mannequins -- used in the absence of fans, who are banned because of the coronavirus -- had “no connection to sex toys”.
But some of the artificial spectators, deployed for Sunday’s game against Gwangju FC, wore T-shirts with the logo of SoloS, a sex toy seller - despite pornography being banned in South Korea.
The mannequins’ manufacturer reportedly apologised to FC Seoul but stressed that the dolls were merely “premium mannequins.”
