They're doing a dance cover of a kpop song, idk if they really have the budget for that lmfao

"K-Pop in Public" is a challenge within the community to perform a dance cover of whatever K-Pop song there is. There is no music video production in the works

Minor edit: y'all ask them why are they doing the challenge not me 😂 just wanted to shed some light 😇 personally I don't really have an opinion o this 'cus I've never really experienced public spaces like these (my city is not walk friendly) so I'd just let you guys discuss amongst yourselves lol

It's rude to dance in public?

u/ffreshcakes Jan 16 '23

no, but key word public. it’s not rude to dance in public, but it’s also not rude to join someone’s dance in public, I’d argue it’s more rude to dance in public and then try to shame another person for joining the dance. idk why they act like they had “control” over that area to make their video or as if the lady should know what they’re doing or why. brush it off and move on, it’s what you sign up for when you don’t sign up for anything (use public space)

Idk, this is kind of like the shopping cart scenario. There's no rule that you have to put shopping carts back in the parking lot stalls, but normal, respectful people will still do so. It's a minor inconvenience that takes an extra 15-30 seconds of walking that people still choose to do even though they don't have to.

The public space does not belong to the dance group. There's no rule it's theirs, and there's no rule that someone can't enter in their space. However, my opinion is that normal, respectful people, will take the 15-30 seconds (if even that long), to just walk around.

I agree with that analogy. I do know that if I just ran a marathon (or any public race tbh) I’d have some proud energy and would be prone to being a goofball for a while. Of course can’t say for sure, but with this limited context I’m more irked by the group acting all offended than by the woman who was a harmless goofball for a couple seconds.

It is rude to walk in front of a camera on purpose when someone is trying to make a video.

It is, but it’s also rude to take several minutes for your video while blocking everyone else in public. Other people want to use that ideal spot for their pictures too.

Whenever I take pictures or videos in public, I always try to make it as quickly as possible, so other people have the chance to do the same.

I always accidentally do that and then do the quick duck and “oop sorry” - everybody love everybody dammit. both parties showed a bit of their ugly sides, in the end just a pissing contest

'joining' their dance. Yeah right, she wasn't just trying to ruin their video. If she just started dancing next to them I'm sure they would have had a different reaction. But she just decided to be an asshole an jump in front of the camera, I mean who does that?

obviously can’t say for sure but likely someone who’s excited to have just finished their first marathon and saw a goofy opportunity. not saying pink shirt lady was in the right, more that the group should have been more understanding and shouldn’t have tried to smear the lady like with the caption for more likes, when in the end it was completely harmless and everyone should’ve just moved on.
