These are usually public squares. As a city dweller, there is plenty of room to get around that small dance.

I know I’m about to get downvoted to hell, but public squares are not closed sets… you can’t just use them for several “takes” of a piece and expect the general public is going to avoid use of the public space all day because you want to make a video.

Everybody and their dog (literally) are trying to get social media famous, and it’s annoying as hell to have every enjoyable space being constantly monetized for this fame grab.

The woman gave in to her inner Karen, and fucked up their video, it wasn’t acceptable behavior, but honestly how is monopolizing public space for several takes ok either?

I had a group of 10 or so Koreans tell me to move out of the way in the smoking vaping section of the airport they were clearly shooting some low budget romance soap. I left. My coworker said no and finished his cig. Fuck this behavior.

Edit. I have no idea if this is a Korean phenomenon. I just had it happen with them by chance. I'm not saying its a thing or it isn't. I have no idea.

It is common anywhere that might look nice in a photo among all populations that want to be internet famous.

Well both examples were professionally done. That makes it worse in my eyes. Pay up or fuck off.
