"something strange" with national flag... The Korean broadcasting station tvN, which relayed the World Cup Asian final qualifying match against Japan, displays the "Korean flag" as the Japanese flag.

Korea tvN, which relayed the 2022 Qatar World Cup Asian Final Qualifying match between Japan and Oman, mistakenly displayed the "Korea's Taegeuk flag" as the Japanese flag.

The tvN side acknowledged the fact and officially apologized.

On the 17th, tvN wrote in the Korean media "SPOTV news" that there was a mistake in the graphic on the screen in the 2022 Qatar World Cup Asian Final Qualifying match between Japan and Oman.

Prior to this, the Japanese national team and the Oman national team will play in Oman Muscat at 1:00 am (Japan time) on the same day. This match was broadcast live through Korea tvN SHOW.

In this broadcast, a broadcast accident occurred in which the Korean flag "Taeguk flag" was inserted at the position where the flag of the Japanese representative was displayed. The broadcast tvN stood in the center of the issue.

Regarding the matter, tvN said, "We will pay more attention to the programming in the future."
