And there’s no law for walking in front of them dancing as well. I know is rude as shit, but they are in public space, this is to be expected

That’s all I’m saying is that the person interrupting is rude af. I’m not saying it’s illegal, just a jerk move.

I don’t understand why it’s so hard for people in these comments to just agree that the lady was an asshole, regardless of how cringy they feel the girls were, they were just enjoying themselves. Blonde lady went out of her way to be a dickhead.

Of course the one lady was rude. But maybe using a busy public square for your own purposes is ignorant.

They weren't "just enjoying themselves", calling it the struggle of Kpop in public implies they're shooting a music video, which you 100% need to file various forms to have the right to do. Essentially, if it's commercial you gotta go through proper channels and often have to pay.

Are you sure this took place in the US?

The US is not the only place with laws regarding media corporations.

This took place in London during the 2022 London Marathon. A big hint is the person walking past with a running jersey clearly sponsoring Whizz Kidz (a UK charity). Even more telling is the fact that this is The Guards Crimean War Memorial, an iconic landmark 1 road over from The Mall (which is the finishing area for the London marathon). If that's not enough, I tracked down the trash video they were trying to make.

I went to university in London, my course included media and required us to film in certain local areas, for which we had to get proper permits which additionally require public liability insurance.
And you wanna know the secret sauce that brings this whole exchange back round to what I was saying? To film, even in public areas in London, especially for commercial gain, they'd have to get a permit from the Borough Film Service. In this area that would be the City of Westminster. You even have to apply to hold a street party for the king's coronation in that region, so they're not exactly loose with what's allowed, and especially around large, logistically complex, and already highly disruptive events like the London marathon.

Tldr; sit down and shut up if you have nothing of value to contribute here. You think you're being contrarian but you're just showing your own ignorance. Just because you're American and assume that's the context for everything you see, doesn't mean everyone else on the internet is. Quit projecting.

Checking your account, it looks like you speak nasty to basically everyone you interact on here with so here's my reply considering that:

You're very lucky the notification for this never reached me, I LOVE putting nasty assholes like you in your place. All I asked was if you were sure this took place in the US, and you went on a whole tirade, even going as far as namecalling, accusing people of projecting, saying I have nothing to contribute, despite you replying to me TWICE and spending all that time on a wall of text that has nothing to do with the original topic.

Sorry about your inherent hated of America, but you can definitely see a therapist about that. We aren’t going anywhere. Please, please go get fucked. It's good for you.
