A video posted by a Vietnamese tourist striking yoga poses in leggings in front of Gyeongbokgung has stirred controversy.
On the 5th, VN Express reported that a Hanoi-based woman posted on social media on October 29, during her visit to Korea, showing herself performing yoga poses in front of Gyeongbokgung. Her post received backlash from online users.
The woman wore a green full-body leggings outfit while executing high-difficulty yoga poses.
One commenter referenced "Hue Imperial City," a historical site in Vietnam, stating, "Just like Hue Imperial City, this palace is a sacred place for Korea," and described her behavior as disgraceful.
Others pointed out, "This is a sacred site and a symbol of Korean tourism. Such disrespectful and unpleasant acts tarnish the image of Vietnamese people."
The woman responded by saying that “even the guards at Gyeongbokgung didn’t stop me,” arguing that the criticism was excessive. She added, "Everyone has their own preferences, and we should respect our differences."
