"Is Korea a Playground?"... Foreign Influencer Sparks Controversy Over Nuisance Stunts

A foreign influencer visiting Seoul has become embroiled in a nuisance controversy, haven't they?

This is the story of a German influencer with over 1 million followers.

Streichbruder recently posted several videos on social media filmed in the Seoul subway and around the Hongdae area.

The footage shows the influencer playing loud music on a speaker inside a crowded subway car while DJing and dancing.

Even after getting off the train, the performance continued on the platform, and in the streets of Hongdae, the influencer was spotted setting up a speaker to dance and even walking out onto the roadway.

As the videos spread, criticisms followed over whether it is appropriate to consume content that causes inconvenience to others in public spaces.

In particular, concerns were raised regarding privacy violations, as the faces of fellow passengers were captured clearly in the footage.

Netizens poured out criticisms, saying, "The subway is not a private concert venue," and "If you come to another country, you should at least observe basic public etiquette."
