The British talent show competition "Britain's Got Talent" incorrectly introduced a Korean taekwondo team as Japanese on social media and neglected it for nearly three weeks despite many requests for it to be corrected, according to a Korean professor-activist, Friday.

Ssaulabi, a taekwondo performance team from Jeonju University that appeared on "Britain's Got Talent" and reached the semifinals a month ago, was wrongly introduced on May 4 as a Japanese team on the program's Instagram, according to Seo Kyoung-duk, a professor at Sungshin Women's University.

The professor has been actively promoting Korea and Korean culture overseas for over 25 years.

The Instagram post read, "Ssaulabi from Japan AMAZE The Britain's Got Talent Judges With Their Martial Arts Skills!" The video has over 41,000 views and 1,014 likes as of Friday.

"It was a great opportunity to introduce taekwondo's excellence and value as a performance across the world, but it is regretful that there was a clerical error from the Got Talent team," the professor wrote on Facebook.

"Britain's Got Talent" is an iconic talent competition program that discovered stars such as Susan Boyle and Paul Potts.

Ssaulabi became the first university-level taekwondo demonstration team to win a golden buzzer and advance to the semifinals in the global show. The World Taekwondo (WT) demonstration team earned the golden buzzer for their performance on NBC's "America's Got Talent" in June 2021.

The contestants introduced themselves as South Koreans during the show.

"Many online users in and outside Korea are demanding to fix the error, but Got Talent shows no sign of correcting it," Seo wrote, adding that he will file a complaint to the production crew.

In response to the growing criticism, the program corrected the Instagram post to "Ssaulabi from South Korea," as of Sunday.
