French TV channel apologizes for mistake with South Korean flag

French non-state broadcaster LCI apologizes and removes a video containing misinformation about the South Korean flag after an official protest from Seoul.

As Ukrinform reports, Yonhap reported this.

“The broadcaster expressed regret about the mistake in the South Korean flag and deleted the video,” the South Korean Foreign Ministry said.

The department also added that it expressed “strong protest” to LCI over this error.

Earlier, a French private television channel published a story in which it made a mistake with the South Korean flag. LCI used an image of the South Korean national flag with a red circle in the middle, similar to the symbol of the Japanese flag.

But the South Korean flag has a red and blue circle in the center.

The report drew criticism from viewers around the world. Many commentators condemned the plot as "offensive", given the sensitivity of the shared past history between South Korea and Japan. South Korea was under Japanese colonial rule from 1910 to 1945.

The French TV channel France Télévisions apologized and explained the depiction of a map of Ukraine without Crimea in one of its stories as a technical error.
