  • A video viewed tens of thousands of times on social media claims to show three South Korean television hosts laughing after the Chinese men's national football team lost to Vietnam in a 2022 World Cup qualifying match. This is misleading: the footage has been manipulated from a 2017 South Korean broadcast of an NBA basketball game. This video was posted here on China's Twitter-like social media platform Weibo on February 4, 2022. When China's national football team lost to Vietnam, South Korean broadcasters laughed uncontrollably, reads the simplified Chinese-language title at the beginning of the clip. The footage -- which has been viewed more than 30,000 times -- circulated online after Vietnam rattled China in a 3-1 upset during a World Cup qualifying match on February 1, 2022. The match result has been superimposed above the trio in the misleading video. The post's caption reads: It really hurts South Koreans to see China's football loss to Vietnam. This is a tongue-in-cheek reference to the three television hosts becoming hysterical in the footage. Screenshot taken on February 16, 2022, of the misleading Weibo post The video was also shared with a similar claim on Chinese video-sharing site Bilibili here and here , and on Twitter here and here . While comments from some online users indicated they doubted the video was genuine, others appeared to believe the claim was true, with one user saying: They don't even have basic respect for China. In fact, the video has been digitally altered. AFP found the Korean-language conversation in the misleading video does not mention China's defeat to Vietnam. The Chinese-language subtitles added to the clip -- which refer to the football match -- are also not accurate. Old blooper footage Keyword searches found an earlier clip of the broadcast -- without the Chinese-language subtitles -- was published here in a report by South Korean news site Wikitree on February 20, 2017. The unedited clip features a logo for the South Korean television network SPOTV. In the clip, the presenter on the right coughs several times, causing the others to laugh. The Korean-language headline translates to English as: NS Yoon-G cracked up. NBA All-Star broadcast blooper (video). NS Yoon-G is the stage name of Korean-American singer and actress Kim Yoon-ji. Below is a screenshot comparison of the video shared in the misleading posts (L) and the video embedded in the Wikitree article (R): Screenshot comparison of the video shared in the misleading posts (L) and the video embedded in the Wikitree article (R) The article reads: In the '2017 NBA All-Star Game', which was broadcasted on SPOTV on the 19th, NS Yoon-G sat in the relay seat with newscaster Kim Myung-jung and reporter Park Se-woon. In the video, the trio who were giving their closing remarks burst into laughter at reporter Park Se-woon's sudden cough. The gaffe was also reported by South Korean broadcaster SPOTV here and South Korean newspaper Seoul Shinmun here in February 2017. (en)
