SEOUL: The host company of the 68th annual Miss Korea competition issued an official apology on Thursday (Sept 26), concerning a question for the finalists about videos using deepfake technology.

During this year's event in Seoul on Tuesday, 15 finalists had to answer various pre-prepared questions. One of the questions was, "If the image of myself in a deepfake video looks more attractive (than myself), how could I reduce the gap (between the image) and my actual self?"
