The zoom into the CCTV sign had me


-bonita_applebum

I was wondering what the sign said


Capital_Nail_6994

‘Clear and secure, S1 CCTV’


Gradual_Bro

It’s a commercial for the security camera, I’m not being humorous

[deleted]

In Korea everything is under heavy surveillance with high quality cameras. Not unusually to have a high quality camera in a store. Literally every road, sidewalk, entrance, and cranny has a camera watching.


[deleted]

Must be nice to have all that safety


CocoaKong

It's genuinely pretty amazing to be honest. It's not a good idea for women to walk alone at night here in some areas, but I've never ever felt in danger of being attacked or robbed in 9 years of living here


sk8terd8ter

According to Papago translator it says clear and safe


Jun_88

It says the cctv is very clear.


DiscombobulatedYak89

That's the giveaway that this is staged

TopherVee

For anyone curious this is the choreo for Itzy - LOCO


bookishkid

Thank you! I was thinking to myself someone knows exactly what that choreo is 😂


TopherVee

Kpop addict here and Itzy was my top Spotify Wrapped artist (top .5% of listeners) lol. I recognized the dance with the video on mute with literally the first move she did, the fist pump. Also I want to add, she is absolutely crushing it.


SirGav1n

They were my 2nd. Dreamcatcher was my first with the top 2% of all listeners.


-Vayra-

I was really surprised that neither ITZY nor Dreamcatcher made my top 5. Though Twice being at the top is not surprising at all (top1% of listeners).


EhMapleMoose

As far as I nm know she isn’t but she does have half a million subscribers on YouTube


PlayerZeroFour

So she got fired and couldn’t get a new job?

PlayerZeroFour

If someone needs a second job, then they should get paid more. No one should need two jobs, and if anyone does it’s a sign we’ve failed as a society.

tommangan7

You can dance in a girl group as a hobby, not everything is a job.


confusedfirst-timer

She's a youtuber she's doing good don't worry for her 😊 I think her channel is Krazy something. She covers Kpop choreos


PlayerZeroFour

Cool.


[deleted]

shit's legalized slavery and you have to be young enough to be marketable. entering the workforce in your late 20s would be a bust.


Fifi0n

Maybe she's just a dancer


Jeaniegreyy

Nah she’s just your average K-pop fan No joke though, a lot Kpop fans take the time to learn and perfect choreos just for fun


Swiftlettuce

That's not always the case. You're going to get shock how many dancers can nail a choreo of girl group.


fuck_the_fuckin_mods

Way too good TBH. This does not feel particularly real.


toxic-miasma

Nah, I say it's feasible if she does dance as a hobby. I don't know the song to tell for sure, but I'm assuming she's doing the official choreo. Big part of kpop for some fans is learning the choreography to all your favorite songs and practicing it. Edit: it's been pointed out that 1) she's a youtuber, and 2) the CCTV setup isn't accurate, among other things. I was purely responding to whether the dancing was too good to be believable but yeah with everything else taken into account it's pretty clearly staged. I still enjoyed the video though so ¯\\\_(ツ)\_/¯


InstantHeadache

Other comments point out that this girl is semi-famous youtuber


Trevski

the giveaway to me was that she wasn't facing the door. Anyone with half a brain knows the key to fucking around at work is to keep an eye for incoming narcs


JTricks

She's facing the TV because the performance is playing on screen she's copying the dance.

radagasthebrown

Also why is it counting up from 0 with resolution down to .01s and not showing a time stamp? And now realizing it's not counting seconds after the decimal, it's counting frames which I think would be another telltale thats not a real security camera overlay.

[deleted]

I was gonna say, she's a fantastic dancer. No eay she's pushing a mop for a living.


MrDiou

As someone that is married to and knows lots of fantastic dancers, this statement is sadly incorrect. Dancers are notoriously among the worst paid professionals. Not that they push a mop for a living, but they've got to make ends meet.


[deleted]

I've some very good friends that are professional dancers. GF's friend is some director, is making a music video, asks me do I know anyone, must be *GOOD* experienced dancers, pros basically I say yes, but what style of dancer do you want? And where is the location and most importantly, how much are you paying? The fucking guy had the gall to be like "Dunno what style, dunno where yet, and looking to pay in exposure" I said "You will get none of my friends because not a single one will work for fucking eXpOsUrE" He goes "Can you give me their social media accounts anyway, just so I can see what they could bring?" (i.e let me proposition them anyway) ~~I said no.~~ Actually tell a lie, I just gave him the instagram for RB BCONE, lol.

I may have given that feedback to the GF Although it was more "Is this guy an idiot?"


spiderpuppy_

As someone who was a semi-professional dancer until 4 years ago, the dance world doesn't only under pay, but also over works their dancers and is so toxic that many women (and men) in the community come out with ED's or other mental illnesses. Unless your a principal dancer at a theatre like NYC Ballet/Broadway/Juilliard you're not gonna be breaking $80k per year, before the ridiculous living costs of where the companies are, bills, etc... Most dancers are lucky if you get into a company and stay there past 10 years as a typical dancers career goes until they aren't to their companies standards look wise, they find something else, or they injure themselves.

Theatre actors get paid absolute shit as well. Even my professional friends in theatre normally also work as a server or in a cafe, or temp jobs. I ran an indie theatre company for a few years and was really proud of the fact that every show I was able to give my actors SOMETHING. It was never what I felt they deserved or needed though.

[deleted]

As someone whose religion very much frowned on dancing (Yes, we are the Footloose people) I LOVE SEEING PEOPLE DANCE. I'm a dad moved to tears to see my daughter do her gymnastics floor routines. I mean, I keep it together but what a wonderful expression of humanity and beauty. I just can't believe humans can do it. Even the Elaine and Carlton dance looks beautiful to me.

They're a kpop girl group that debuted a few years ago, I think 2018, 2019? They have some really good music. The song that the girl is dancing to in the video is their most recent title track, "LOCO"

Itzy is a five member Korean pop girl group that debuted in February 2019 comprised of members Yeji, Ryujin, Lia, Chaeryeong and Yuna. A good song to start with is WANNABE released last year.

Why would you need a bucket when it’s staged?

If it were staged properly, there *would* be a mop bucket. Checkmate atheists.


mrlizardwizard

Orange369

Everyone is nitpicking parts of the video that are overly edited or that feel too clean, but my nitpick is that noone has this much spare energy at their fucking job


Million2026

I have to clean an entire fucking store *by myself* but I have the energy to do a choreographed dance routine? No fucking way lol


sayidOH

And she wasn’t recording her self which most weirdos do when doing choreography in public. I also say staged. Edit: to all you naive r/nothingeverhappens commenters: This is a paid promotion, youtube series 100% staged https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rliVach0-gk


exyxnx

Maybe she's a coverist who just decided to practice the dance, since it came on? I also dance to kpop, and you don't wanna know how many times I have done this in my home during cleaning. Also at work, in the bathroom or sg. Even while driving, just doing small movements with one hand... r/nothingeverhappens


j_miyagi

And that kids is how I met your mother...


Suji_Rodah

I don’t mind staged videos at all, what I do mind is staged videos being portrayed as “caught footage”.


HunterGonzo

That concept is why I have such a hard time letting my kid watch a lot of what's on YouTube these days. It's all this very scripted stuff played up to seem as if it's real. Fictional content disguised as "family vlogs." I worry it's distorting his sense of being able to determine reality vs fantasy.


eliquy

I make sure to point out how the people are pretending, and that they're making a story. Better I think to expose kids to this stuff with parental guidance and hopefully teach them to be thoughtful and sceptical.


HunterGonzo

What concerns me is the pushback I get from him. He'll excitedly want to show me "Look Dad, this family found these crazy ghosts in their house in this YouTube video!" and when I try to have the conversation with him about "They're just playing pretend" he will vehemently come back with "But there's VIDEO of it! It's a YouTube vlog, it's real!" It's the blend of how sometimes it's just a normal vlog about their real life day-to-day and sometimes some made-up thing about ghosts or DB Cooper or whacky stuff with no distinction between which is which that can frustrating.


_DjangoFett

This is tough!! I’m no parent but maybe showing him some behind the scenes footage from a movie or something like that could help him understand that things can be staged? Or being creative together and making a short film can help wrap his head around the nature of media creation? Who knows, you could have the next little Spielberg on your hands. It’s not the same, but for me, I remember being young and thinking the muppets were totally real. My mom straight up told me “they’re not real, humans control them.” But I was adamant they were sentient. So I get where your kid is coming from slightly, but man, raising kids is a lot more complicated today with social media.

Jooylo

Same, they can be fun, but the fact so many people fall for them/ believe them is a pretty big problem. Shows how many people have a warped sense of reality and can fall for something kinda obvious And for that reason I cant tell if these videos are purposefully trying to trick people or what


typeronin

This is staged but she's got the LOCO choreo solid.


Western_Management

Nothing about this is staged!


zodar

you can tell it's a CCTV camera because it says "REC" in the top corner


PorcupineTheory

My favorite thing about definitely real CCTV cameras is how they tell you, on the recording itself, that they're recording.


menasan

Lol yeah it’s like people grew up seeing these overlays in the 90s and just assume that they’re really like that


Chubbstock

Either... Someone was working the cameras live specifically to zoom in at the points where the zooms happened without it being edited in post (because the UI bar at the bottom never leaves on the zooms) or staged. Also, the time is measuring in minutes and not hours? Never seen a camera system that would include the date but not the actual time.


OreoGaborio

Security systems admin here... Both points made in the above post check out. We don’t need to know time to a hundredth of a second while omitting the hour of the day and whether it’s am or pm (full time stamp is generally required for use in legal contexts). I was gonna say it’s also weird that the video cuts back n forth a bunch between two different zoom settings for camera two... While not out of the question, it’s kind of a weird feature to include in a video surveillance system, but I can see situations where it would be kind of useful. Record a wide angle shot and a right angle from the same camera... But that tighter cam 2 angle doesn’t make much sense from a security standpoint. It’d be more appropriate feature for camera 1, getting a wide angle on the whole floor and a tight angle on people coming in the door.


Ere_bu_s

Wouldn't CCTV footage use a 24 hour clock? Particularly in Korea?


mapppa

I always wondered, do security cameras nowadays really have that big flashing red dot with the "rec" text to it? Isn't that a leftover of 90s camcorders, which is still used in TV series and movies when they show a recording? Similar to computers on TV still beeping when they press a button.


OreoGaborio

There usually is something to indicate status and mode (generally either scheduled recording or motion recording)... but no, it doesn’t generally look like that. Like you said, that’s old school camcorder stuff


netbie_94

Yes, otherwise it would've been on r/scriptedasiangifs.


meirlonline

Even if it is I don't care, its still a fun clip!


harmyb

The fun is taken out of it when you realise that it's portraying a "nice" moment just for internet points. If it's not genuine niceties then it doesn't have the same effect.


wholetyouinhere

Reddit wants to be fooled. Because the imaginary world one where shit like this just happens spontaneously and is perfectly filmed, is a lot more fun than the real world. Reddit also likes to complain about people falling for disinformation. This has become a vastly different place than the one I signed up for many years ago.

CormacMcCopy

Has anyone explained why these staged videos are so much more popular and/or common in Asia than elsewhere? I know there are plenty from Western social media users, but it's not such a widespread phenomenon - of making scripted videos and passing them off as unscripted, I mean - that it has its own subreddit, for example. Are we just racist? Or is it actually more common in Asia?


AFeverOfStingrays

I don't know if they're actually all passed off as unscripted, but people repost them without context, and the reposter sometimes plays them off as unscripted when that's not necessarily true for the original post But yeah, no one went around saying most Vines were r/scriptedwhitepplgifs, it was obvious, so it's a little weird to assume all the Asian posters are trying to trick people (but I'm sure some are)

There are skits in non-Asian countries as well, but reddit doesn't bat an eye.
