Netizens Wonder Why Foreigners Call tvN's "Dokkaebi" as "Goblin" 

With the ever growing popularity of tvN drama 'Goblin' netizens want to know why foreigners call 'Dokkaebi' (Korean name), 'Goblin', hoping foreign viewers would get it right. 

Dokkaebi is a mythical being in Korean folklore. The Dokkaebi plays pranks on people and punishes the wicked while rewarding good people with blessings including wealth. Although there are some similarities to the Western folklore creature "goblin," they are definitely not the same.

On an online community post titled 'Dokkaebi's foreign title', numerous photos of the drama titled as 'Goblin' were posted. To top, or rather, bottom things off, a funny photo of an actual green goblin was posted at the end, causing much laughter.
