SEOUL, South Korea (AP) — A South Korean soccer club has apologized after being accused of putting sex dolls in empty stands during a match. FC Seoul expressed “sincere remorse” over the controversy. It insists that it used mannequins to mimic a crowd at the Seoul World Cup Stadium on Sunday. The K-League returned to action on May 8 following weeks-long postponements because of the coronavirus. The league plans to play all games in empty stadiums until the risks of coronavirus infections are lowered.
