“#South Korea network apologizes for ‘inapp<\/a>ropriate’ images on Olympics<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

\n

A South Korean broadcaster has apologized for using \u201cinappropriate\u201d images and captions to depict some countries competing in the Tokyo Olympics \u2014 including using a photo of Chernobyl for Ukraine and pizza for Italy.<\/p>\n

Seoul-based MBC also posted reports of the recent assassination of President Jovenel Mo\u00efse as Haitian athletes walked into the Tokyo stadium during opening ceremonies, The Guardian said in a report<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The network flashed a picture of Dracula for Romania, pizza for Italy and salmon for Norway.<\/p>\n

It referred to the US Marshall Islands, meanwhile, as \u201conce a nuclear test site for the United States.\u201d<\/p>\n

The disastrous depictions left the news<\/a> outlet red-faced.<\/p>\n

\u201cInappropriate images and captions were used to introduce some stories,\u201d the network, officially the Munhwa Broadcasting Corporation, said in a statement.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe apologize to those countries, including Ukraine and our viewers,\u201d it said. <\/p>\n

Athletes from other nations were depicted with more benign \u2014 and sometimes bizarre \u2014 images and information. <\/p>\n

For instance, Great Britain\u2019s entrance into the arena included an image of Queen Elizabeth II, while El Salvador, where cryptocurrency is the legal tender, was depicted with a bitcoin symbol, the newspaper said. <\/p>\n
