Melbourne, August 3 (ANI): mX, a free newspaper available to commuters in Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane, has attracted global attention after referring to North and South Korea as 'Naughty Korea' and 'Nice Korea' in its Olympic coverage.

According to the Daily Mail, mX "sparked a potential diplomatic storm" with the cheeky stunt in its medals table.

While most readers took the joke as intended - harmless and fun, some hit out over the stunt.

"I don't know whether to laugh or be appalled mX is calling North and South as "Naughty Korea" and "Nice Korea"," TheGrimRecapper tweeted. (ANI)
