Before FC Seoul’s first home match of the season, mannequin manufacturer Dalcom and FC Seoul made an agreement to fill a portion of its stands with Dalcom’s products.
This caught the attention of fans watching online as some of the mannequins looked like sex dolls, and some others had banners promoting x-rated websites despite pornography being proscribed in South Korea.
In a bid to clear its name for using sex dolls in the stands, FC Seoul took to Instagram and Facebook to express its regrets saying they were premium mannequins rather than sex dolls, but they admitted they were supplied by a company that produces sex toys.

“We had them supplied by a company and they told us the mannequins were designed for displaying apparel and fashion products. We confirmed with them on several occasions to ensure the mannequins were not adult toys,” they added.
