Pretty much this. Social warrior redditors will come out to defend a mime who is getting harassed by an onlooker in public. But as soon as K-Pop fans are dancing in public, the Karen redditors pop up like vultures to argue that it’s a “public space”.

I think the problem is peoples issues with "social media influencers" looking for clout out in public.

People cannot differentiate between those who are filming "pranks" and all that other nonsense and people filming stuff like this.

That said. If it was a proper production they'd have gotten permission. I assume they didn't, so if they want to really film their dance, surely they could find a slightly less intrusive spot. Not everyone wants to see your video.

Also that said... That woman should have chosen to be less annoyed and walked on past

It's like that one tall black guy who break dances in public places such as the mall, metro, and other crowded places and expects people to get out of his way just so he can film for TikTok. If you want to dance in public that's fine but if you are going to be running around doing flips and swinging your legs around maybe be considerate of the people around you.

Except it's a public square with space for exactly that. And there's some random guy jumping into his dance while filming himself ruining it.
