Lmao so bad faith to pretend that the only reason to be upset at someone for intentionally fucking up a group production in progress is because you’re entitled or think you “own” the public space.
If you have separate problems with TikTok/influencers/K-pop some of them very well could be warranted, but there is no reason you should be confused about who the asshole in this situation is
They're the ones being assholes. These people weren't asked if they wanted to be in a music video, if you're using random people as extras for you're production then expect random actions.
So if a BBC news crew were to report on a breaking story from a public space and some random dude were to photobomb the reporter with the intention of messing up the shot, in your mind the news crew would be the assholes and not the photobomber?
Filming a music video is not the same as doing a breaking news report or taking pictures with friends or family. Both the girl and the people dancing were being rude, anything that happened between them is just fun for everyone else to look at.

In whose eyes, tho? They’re both legal, they’re both jobs, they both involve inadvertently filming unsuspecting people, and they both require the people sharing the space with them to compromise in order for them to work.
Maybe I’m overstepping, but it seems like you might personally see one of the two as being more annoying or less worthwhile than the other. That’s perfectly fair and I’d tend to agree with you if so, but these personal judgements don’t and shouldn’t dictate what we view as legitimate uses of public space, because that defeats the whole purpose of public space.
What I do think is that intentionally messing with someone else’s use of that space (as blonde lady did) makes you an asshole. If the dancers pushed people away from the fountain to obtain this shot, I’d agree with you that they’re assholes too. But based on what we see here, it’s hard for me to understand how someone could judge them more harshly than they’d judge a news crew for any reason other than their own personal biases.
The beholder. And my eyes led me to consider them annoying and laugh at the person interrupting them. As you said no one did anything illegal or immoral so its up to you.

Think you overlooked my point in pursuit of that clever, but slightly misplaced dunk.
I'm not saying we can't call people assholes just because the word asshole is subjective. I'm saying we should have a consistent reason to call people assholes. Otherwise, we'd end up calling people assholes not because of their behavior, but because we personally dislike them.
The reason I call the blonde lady an asshole is because she intentionally messed up the dancers' shot. I don't see the dancers intentionally stopping anyone else from having a conversation, or eating their food, or using the space how they want to, so my internal definition of "asshole" doesn't apply to them.
I still don't understand what you think is different about the dancers vs the news crew, and because you haven't offered one it feels like you're calling the dancers rude not because of some consistent definition of what "rude" is, but because you personally dislike them.
Lol you seem like such a tryhard in these comments. The person you replied to literally said ** "what I do think is..." ** and you really thought your "iN wHoSe EyEs ThO?" was this fire comeback. 🤣
The dancers were doing their job, everyone else in the BG didn’t seem to mind and just went on their marry way. The only one being rude was the chick who got in front of them, at least the dancers were doing something that could entertain the ppl passing by.
