FC Seoul have creeped everyone out by placing life sized female dolls in the stands to replace fans during their match on Sunday, and even the dolls are keeping their distance.
Football without the fans certainly loses some of its magic but Saturday's return of the Bundesliga proved it can still be fun to watch.
And if you're worried about the stadium being empty then K-League side FC Seoul have proved it's not always good to have them filled in their game against Gwangju FC on Sunday.
Far be it for us to follow suit in saying those are 'sex dolls' but just ask yourself when was the last time you saw a mannequin in a shop that looks that life like...

And it looks like some of the mannequins are holding sponsorship signs for an 'adult shop.'
Plastic fans aren't the only difference between the return of football and how they're doing things in South Korea, with Seoul, like others, also pumping crowd noise around the stadium to add some atmosphere for the players and the fans watching on television and YouTube.
The K-League was actually the first football to return to live broadcasts in the UK when BBC showed Jeonbuk Motors vs Suwon Bluewings just over a week ago online.

Since then the Bundesliga returned on BT Sport yesterday, which probably got more people excited than the action from South Korea.
Borussia Monchengladbach returned to action with a win against Eintracht Frankfurt away, thanks in part to a goal in the opening 40 seconds, and the title chasers will have their own unique fan experience when they play at home.
Gladbach have given fans the chance to have their face printed on cardboard cutouts which will be placed in the stands, to make it look like the supporters are in Borussia Park.
