A KBS TV show 'Walking into the World' had a series of interviews with foreigners regarding the Vatican. Viewers instantly noticed that the foreigners were all randomly named after Italian soccer players like Morgan de Sanctis and Giorgio Chiellini. When confronted about it by viewers, KBS admitted to the staff losing the names of the people they interviewed and thus thinking it would be a good idea to replace them all with Italian soccer players.
1. [+6,267, -85] That's so wrong ã…‹ã…‹ã…‹ They replaced their names with Italian soccer players ã…‹ã…‹ã…‹ Maybe they could've fooled viewers with one or two names but all of them? ã…‹ã…‹ã…‹ã…‹ã…‹ã…‹ã…‹ã…‹ã…‹ã…‹ã…‹ã…‹ã…‹
2. [+5,927, -136] How did they think they were going to get away with it... I guess it's like another country interviewing Koreans and saying their names are Park Ji Sung, Cha Bum Geun, and Ahn Jung Hwan... What a joke ã…‹ã…‹
3. [+2,915, -54] I was really surprised when I saw the show ã…‹ã…‹ã…‹ã…‹ã…‹ã…‹ã…‹ã…‹ã…‹
4. [+639, -6] I get that the list of names can be lost but might as well have taken names out altogether... way to make the viewers into fools ã…‹ã…‹ I bet they laughed over how funny it was when they put out before they got caught ã…‹ã…‹
5. [+638, -31] Way to take the viewers for fools
