South Korean broadcaster Mbc released an official note to apologize to some countries, including Italy, for having "used inappropriate phrases and images" describing their characteristics during the Tokyo 2020 opening ceremony.
A pizza was shown to describe Italy when the Azzurri entered, while salmon was used for Norway. The film about Chernobyl to 'characterize' Ukraine is definitely unpleasant, while the Marshall Islands have been described as "the place where the United States carried out nuclear tests". "We apologize to these countries and our viewers", is written in the note from the broadcaster.
