  Namu wiki English: So, in the 1990s, SBS’s popular program *Curiosity Heaven* conducted an experiment to see if tigers were really afraid of dried persimmons, feeding them to tigers at a zoo. First, when they simply picked up a dried persimmon with tongs and placed it in the cage, the tigers sniffed it but immediately lost interest. Second, when a zookeeper tried to feed it to them by hand, the tigers recoiled in disgust and refused to even look at the persimmon. Finally, as part of the experiment, the SBS production team stuffed a dried persimmon inside a raw chicken, which was the tigers' food. The tiger, which had been eating the chicken well, vomited up the chicken as soon as it chewed the persimmon. In reality, since the animals were forced to eat food they disliked for the sake of the broadcast and spat it out, it was a segment that would likely have received significant criticism if aired today.
