A South Korean TV broadcaster has had to apologise after introducing countries in a fairly unorthodox way at the Olympics Opening Ceremony.
As teams walked into the arena, MBC showed a graphic with some interesting points to note about each country.
The only thing is, the images and information provided ranged from the bizarre to the totally inaccurate.
For Ireland, also known as 'Island', we got a point on the world map, with an alleged population of 518 MILLION! No wonder houses in Dublin are so expensive!
And surely there's more to Ireland than whiskey, beer and natural scenery, as much as we have all three in abundance.
Ireland wasn't the only country to be poorly represented, South Korea themselves used BTS as their Olympics photo, and check out some of the other blunders below.
South Korean broadcaster MBC used images to "represent" each country during the #Tokyo2020 Opening Ceremony.
