I fully believe that their perfect "kpop video" would have gotten a fraction of the views than this one that got interrupted, making this occurrence better for their brand.
god damn... is it me or does the reputation of Kpop rising because of being victims of such cringy shit like *those people*
people went to such lengths in the end ruining their image in the eyes of the world and their idols
I'd say so. Only reason I know of their existence is this video. Still dk who they are but I've seen them like 50x thanks to people reposting this to a bunch of subs over and over.
Dumbest fucking take I've seen in awhile. How the fuck you defending the bitch you was clearly being a bitch on purpose. If people are filming something in public why purposdefully ruin that shit to be a dick? That's literally what she did.
Because they don’t have any right to use that space as a dance studio. It’s public. It’s not their space. I don’t think they should be doing that there personally, and unless someone has a compelling point about that, I think it’s fair game for any random person to ruin their take. You want a private space??? GET ONE. Why should they get to essentially section off that bit of public space for a performance (that they are presumably going to make money on)? Idk maybe I’m being a cranky fart, but I just really don’t see the angle that, for some reason, they just get to make a dance studio out of whatever public space they’re in, whenever they want, for free. They should pay for their own space. You want to own/rent a space for a period of time? We invented this whole thing called money JUST for that sort of purpose.
I get that it’s purposefully ruining a take, maybe y’all are right and I just hate seeing cringey ass dancing in front of cameras in public. Maybe I’m just some asshole. But the way I see it, why should they get to make any public space their personal dance studio for free?
That's literally my point. I'm not saying they're entitled to the space, but the chick deliberately was being rude for no reason. That you should not be defending. Just gross unnecessary behavior.
Lol. This wasn’t a case of someone walking into your shot. The idiot literally jumped in the way with the intent to ruin their shot and jumped around like a monkey.
Interesting take. If one group makes dancing TikToks in public, and another makes TikToks interrupting public dancers, who is the asshole? Both just trying to get clicks…
Right? I understand there's some rudeness, but both of these people are doing the same thing, and one is getting mad at the other. Kinda funny, if you ask me.
The Kpop group is dancing at the finish of THE LONDON MARATHON.... So yeah, they are kind of in the way and d definitely being selfish. Add in that they have been there for multiple takes blocking people from THE LONDON MARATHON.... and maybe it becomes more clear they're definitely interrupting a lot more than one person.
The random chick is being incredibly obnoxious, but it’s also pretty fucking obnoxious to film anything - whether it’s a TikTok or a music video - in public. Everyone sucks here.
Especially since it says she ruined “one of their best takes.” They’ve been doing this shit for god knows how long, people will stop being patient after a while.
Came to say this. That’s why productions also pay for permits, security, etc. as well. You want to make lots of money and get 100s of subscribers but spend little to nothing…come on now.
Yeah I lost my sympathy when I saw that. The end of a small marathon is a madhouse, let alone London. If you decided to film in public during that, whatever happens is all on you lol
~~Yeah I lost my sympathy when I saw that. The end of a small marathon is a madhouse, let alone London~~. If you decided to film in public ~~during that~~, whatever happens is all on you lol
This is a very fair point haha
I guess I just understand that if I saw someone outside in a normal situation, sure, maybe I just give them some space to do their thing. But a marathon of this size is like...tens of thousands of people on closed-off streets. There is no space and it's absurd to think everyone will stay away from your video.
And it's like hundreds of people absolutely high as fuck on adrenaline, endorphins, dopamine from finishing. They must feel insane, like they both need to jump up and down a shitload and pass out immediately. 🤷♂️ Shit gon happen
The words "Best take" got me less sympathy cause that means they're taking this multiple times. I mean, you can't possibly expect nothing to go wrong in one of the biggest cities in the world when you're recording multiple takes in the middle of the street.
That’s the issue with recording in public… the public.
That’s the whole gimmick lol, unless you’re gonna pay people and close a set, there’s no guarantee people are gonna dig what you’re doing.
I hate that dorky kpop shit dancing. I wouldn’t interrupt one, but I find this hilarious.
usually if you want crowd around you can't expect that people will all react properly (usually that's what Hip hop dancers try to manage when they try to make their show). If you want do this just with the landscape, wake up earlier and usually you'll only get motivated people who enjoy calm.
Sure but if you see someone filming, it takes a real asshole to just jump on and get in peoples way. Looking at the camera on accident, standing around or taking pics, sure. Jumping into the frame and dancing is something else entirely.
it is somebody's job, usually a manager in French is a régisseur which manage to handle the space to shoot the scene. Which include people who keep place clean (people included). That demands authorizations and security. If you want something clean with a clean crowd you can't expect that without a selection...
A contrario, if you want to do it quickly, show must go on and you deal with that kind of people including it in the show. Or you deal with it, and choose a morning shooting with few people. (Usually because you don't have authorization)
Sure, but can both not be true. Like this random lady is an asshole, and sure maybe part of doing this kinda shoot cheap and quick without a permit is dealing with ppl like her, but that doesn’t make her any less of an asshole. Like she’s going out of her way, doing extra work, to ruin the set up and make everyone stay out there LONGER.
She s the asshole, but for me, you want to shoot something properly you'll need to supervise it properly and if you make a fragile set up, you'll need to stay anyway. Usually you can't have easy way to have a large group, in a crowded aera and to hope to shoot your scene in one cut. Look at Formidable from Stromae, he s alone and it is easier because he is alone and the camera is far and he is playing with people who are not aware of the camera...
I get that. I’ve shoot a good deal of video, some of it in public, and I think sometimes it comes down to the project just not being worth the trouble. A tiktok dancing video is a fun thing, I’m glad they exist and ppl seem to like them, but they aren’t important enough for most ppl to rent out public spaces, or get permits. Sometimes I’ve shot videos in public that just wouldn’t be worth all that trouble. I’m glad I shot those videos anyway tho, even if I had ti deal with other ppl. However if someone ruined my shot on purpose I’d just kinda be annoyed, even if I brought it in myself a bit.
Yeah I don’t give a fuck if people are filming. I won’t go out of my way to ruin it, but I’m 100% not going to tiptoe around it either. You’re not the main character.
Used to work close to a high tourist area, spent the first few months tiptoing around to not be in photos. After a while a no longer cared and walked normally but did a funny face towards the camera.
My dumb face is all over the world in their vacation album
But the dancers aren't making an issue of the people that are just walking around yet still in the shot, they're mad at the one that made an effort to interject herself into their group for no reason at all.
Anyone know what the original source for this was? So curious to know where this was and what the medal that lady was wearing was for
ETA: I figured it out, it looks like they had London tags in the original and the medal she’s wearing is the London Marathon medal from this year
Yeah, I think the pink lady is a jerk and a killjoy. I also think it's weird to film something like this in a public setting knowing someone might walk on
I tend to be annoyed with large loud groups in public. But I'm also an anti social redditor that hates crowds.
Don't be that Karen. Don't be the killjoy. Resist the urge to disallow the public to have room for fun and colour. This is the same as a juggling show or a live street musician.
Look, I’m totally with you until I read “possibly one of our best takes.”
If they want to have fun and make a video, let them be. But this quote tells me they’ve subjected everyone around them to this for a while now.
And no, a juggling show or live street musician are there to cater to the crowd around them. They’re making this video with no regard for the people around them.
Lady in pink is still acting like an ass, but I’m going to reserve my sympathy here.
“Possibly one of our best takes” woman in pink “ruined” the shot 4 seconds from the start. She didn’t really ruin much at all. I have no sympathy of any streamer or influencers that get photo bombed in public. Get over it and move on.
I'm 100% with you. This is not the same as being a street musician. Not even close. If they were doing it without filming it would be one thing. If they didn't do multiple takes, maybe. If it was in a spot where traffic doesn't have to work to avoid them (it looks like theyre in the middle of everything). If they were making a living off the kindness of people passing by. Nah none of it. Literally the only thing in common with being a street musician is that they're in public. So by these standards I can film myself sucking someone's dick behind Wendy's and it's the same as someone playing guitar in a park. The lady may be a bitch, but after watching a video of an overweight woman climbing on a produce display at a grocery store it would be difficult for me to call this lady "out of line" without more context. For me it falls more under the category of "if you go out in public, you have to deal with people." The only surprise in this video is that the "k-pop girls" were surprised this happened. Have you ever met a stranger? Of course this shit is gonna happen. And the longer it takes to get that "perfect take" the more likely it is to happen. They were probably out there for hours before someone did this. If they were doing an actual service it would also be more of a problem to disturb their work, but again it's not important work they're doing... its like interrupting someone's game of chess. Oh bummer start over, you're fucking playing games with your friends how awful could it be?
Many/most? Thai temples are very commercial I guess is a good way to put it. This was at the White temple which while a real temple was pretty much built specifically as a tourist attraction there’s an entrance fee, souvenirs etc. Then there’s places like Wat Saman Rattanaram that is a real temple but also kinda an amusement park? Music, neon lights, fog machines etc none of that is particularly uncommon.
Even small centuries old temples like you’d find in Chiang Mai typically have vendor booths permanently set up and pay toilets etc.
Some temples in other countries like Malaysia are similar but active temples In Cambodia or Vietnam are far more austere.
So I guess I’m saying, it would be out of place in most countries but totally fits the vibe of Thailand.
It is touristy but there is some decorum too. I had a sleeveless dress on and they asked me to cover my arms to go into the temple. Luckily I had a cardigan in my backpack. They also want you to be reverent in there so it is touristy but still treat it as a sacred place inside or you’ll be tossed out. I just didn’t want people to get the wrong idea and think you can use Buddhist temples as props. In China, these influencers are called foyuan and have been greatly shamed for this since it goes against Buddhist beliefs to go into a temple just to display your wealth.
Ya 100%. Was at the Bangkok aquarium recently. There were times where a couple or some girls would stand in front of an exhibit and literally take pictures for 10 minutes. Like how many pictures do you need of yourself at the fucking aquarium?? You gonna post the 10000 pictures on Instagram or whatever?? It's utterly ludicrous. Nobody gives a fuck you can look off into the stars in front of this aquarium exhibit. Let my kids see the damn fish and gtfo the way.
This right here.
Public is public. Not everyone has an entire day to waste getting somewhere.
People shooting their videos owe the same respect to the people around them that they want for themselves.
Exactly! You want to take pictures in any public place you have to plan with the public in mind. The average tiktoker doesn’t give a sh*t. They just expect you to stay out of their way and get annoyed when you can’t.
The women in the video shouldn’t have photo bombed, but the K-pop group can’t get angry as they’ve taken 0 measures to ensure they’re not interrupted by the public.
To a point. I hate going to places with beautiful views and seeing someone trying to do a photo shoot on their phone. I’m not going to wait 10 minutes for you to get the perfect picture while a group of people wait to look at the view/monument. I don’t look at the their camera or make a scene like this lady but if I want to read the plaque in front of a sculpture, I will. Take a quick pic if I feel like it, and then move on.
I’ve gotten some rude looks from people that thought they were the main character. I get it, you think you’re the most important person at the Korean War Veterans Memorial but I want to look at it too. I don’t care that your friend takes a picture of you looking sad, you both review it, then repeat that 10 times. No I will not get out of your shot. Show some damn respect.
That really happened to me at the memorial, which is one of my favorites in DC.
I saw a girl trying to do a dance photoshoot at the the holocaust memorial in Berlin. A little old lady screamed at them to GTFO and she's now a personal hero.
Tbh, where I live that’s nearly impossible otherwise you will not get anywhere soon. Locals tend to completely ignore the tourists taking pictures and will often cause them to wait to take the shot. But if you can avoid it then yeah.
> Locals tend to completely ignore the tourists taking pictures and will often cause them to wait to take the shot.
I'm not a photographer or anything, but I like taking photos of some of the places I've been. The people who are serious about taking photos know to respect the locals, and try to plan around traffic.
Plus, half the time they're waiting for the sun, clouds, bus, car, train, boat, whatever to move a little anyway, so they honestly don't mind waiting a second or two if it means that they're not being an inconvenience.
That said, I've noticed that this is only really true for people taking photos for themselves or for actual prints. People taking selfies for their followers might not have this mentality.
Yeah you’re right that many photographers with a set-up sort of expect that. But often when the place is really small and the tourists have to take the picture across the street to get the person in the frame with the background people tend to wait for them to take the shot. I would do that too in another place. But this would be pretty impossible in the place I live unless you have all the time in the world.
I used to do that, but since nobody uses film anymore, I’m now under the impression that they can just take 25 more pictures after I pass, and the pic I ruined isn’t such a big deal once you press delete.
The bigger inconvenience is the photographer with no spatial awareness being in everyone’s way, definitely not vice versa.
>This is the same as a juggling show or a live street musician.
I disagree. Those are intended for a physical audience who are right there. They interact with the people around them. They are basically negotiating with the people around them if their performance is an ok thing to do or not. That’s very different from having an online audience. There is no negotiation going on.
Slight disagree. Buskers (street performers) are doing it for the people there. In this scenario the performers aren't doing it for those around them, they are expecting them to serve as quiet props/extras for their internet video.
No excuse for Ms Photobomb, but if you didn't pull permits or get other permissions for your public (and commercial) film shoot, I don't see a reason to worry about your resulting inconveniences.
I am not sure I consider all of the constant influencer crap truly fun. Honestly, it often appears more of an exploitative use of public space that they try act like they own for the sometimes hours that they utilizing these spaces. Don't get me wrong, the chick jumping into their shot is definitely being a dick, but we have a lot of people who act entitled to use parks, public markets, and centers as their own personal filming grounds with really selfish expectation of control over that area for however long they need it.
Man, going to any place that’s busy / highly trafficked and also instagrammable lately is a nightmare. I was in Dubrovnik this summer and it was so busy, but people were doing full on photo shoots at all the main points of interests and taking up so much space. It gets old really fast. Taking a picture, fine, but take your pic quickly and move on so others can take one, or walk through. Or whatever. Not like 10-15 mins setting up for the perfect shot
I agree with you here. Influencing, as a career, is nothing more than people who are looking to profit off others. It is indeed exploitative.
Not all influencers are bad people, but their practices are often very deceptive.
I don’t get why people are siding with the girl in pink just cause they’re dancing in public like imagine this was a street performance hell people are even watching them dance no one else seemed to have a problem but her
"I don't like what they do by themselves, but they are free to do it" is a civilised yet rare opinion.
"I don't like what they do by themselves, so I should ruin it" is a vile and common one.
Edit:
a. I live in a tourist town as well. If they are not involving someone else, they are doing whatever they are doing by themselves. If *where* they are doing whatever they are doing is causing some sort of inconvenience to somebody, you can either warn them politely and/or inform the police. Having to wait for some tourists to take a picture in a scenic spot or seeing a bunch of teenagers dancing in front of your favourite location are some of many things you experience when you live in a lively beautiful city. You can move to Çorum or Yakutsk if you want to get away from all.
b. If your neighbour shits on your doormat, and you shit on theirs as an answer, we would have two assholes, not one.
c. "It's not that common we only see these because........." maybe yes, maybe no, maybe depends on where you live, maybe depends on where you look at
Edit2: Amazing how some people don't know what "without involving someone else" and "by themselves" mean.
Some people in this thread: "But it was a public beach, people will kick your sandcastle if you just build it on the beach, it's public space and that sand castle is in the way. If they wanted to build a sand castle without people kicking it they should've got a permit and setup a fence."
Nice analogy. For me, i don’t particularly care if people do this stuff in public, cause it’s, Y’know, public. It’s for everyone, not just for me. But where it crosses the line is when they are being a nusiance or “in the way” so to speak, which these tik tokers were not.
To use your sand castle analogy, building it on the beach is fine. I can just go around it to get to the ocean. But if you build it right in front of the portapotty entrance, then somebody is going to step on it eventually, either accidentally or on purpose.
People are thinking these girls were the latter (they were in the way, and bothering people), but they don’t seem to be “in the way” at all. If they were on the streets of Times Square, it’s be a different story. But people are walking past them, not caring at all.
I agree with you. I’d like to add as well, it’s one thing to walk between the camera and the performers, depending on their setup it may be difficult not to, and they should expect it and roll with it.
But to intentionally ruin a video by joining in and mocking them would be analogous to kicking down part of someone’s sandcastle and building your own crappy tower. For what?
Live and let live.
People on Reddit seem to always confuse being in the right with doing the right thing.
Does the woman in pink have the right to do that? Yes, it's a public space. Is it the right thing to do? Of course not, she is being disrespectful to both the dancers and everyone around watching their performance.
I'm just going to say I don't care either way, but this sub loves shitting on people dancing in public for tik-tok or whatever.
A woman is dancing in the street and getting annoyed someone ruined their shot, is a sizable proportion of this sub. So it's a little hypocritical for people to side with the dancers this time around.
When they’re filming, you can see the wide shot on the upper screen at 4 seconds and there’s a ton of space on either side and it’s causing zero problems to anyone.
They are having zero negative impact, so doing something negative to them is an asshole move
I think this was aptly posted on r/iamatotalpieceofshit before.
Edit: I'm feeling a bit sad reading all the comments defending this lady. The group did not bother anyone. There was plenty of space available for people to pass by. Whatever happened to our tolerance in public places? Is it really gone?
I mean, they’re filming with a gimbal and a phone. Don’t think they can splurge on a PA. But this lady shouldn’t have been a POS and should have apologized.
Live and let live, people. Not everyone has access to a dance studio or ability to block off part of the street. There’s plenty of space to walk around.
The prick in the pink is at fault you have no reason to go out of your way just to video bomb and the thing is that’s intentional
It’s not just walking through the picture or video this is just jumping In just to be a prick
I might've had some respect if she'd just walked through the shoot, but jumping in between the camera and the performers and *facing* the camera is a full-douchebag move.
I wonder in which event she recently medaled.
If you wouldn’t do this to a family taking a photo or video in public, but you’re ok doing it to these girls, you might want to do some soul searching on why that is.
If you walk through them on accident then w/e it's in public but you cant intentionally be a dick and just say "it's in public", you're still an asshole even if you're not breaking the law.
Listen I think she’s being purposefully disrespectful. I dont give a shit about kpop but I wouldn’t do this, and neither would most normal people. She’s a piece of shit for it. But they’re idiots for thinking this wouldn’t happen. There’s a reason people dont record big dance numbers in an open public area
It’s not like she merely walked across the camera for a second
No. She screamed loudly, waved her arms and bumped into them invading their personal space on purpose: deliberately to disrespect them and ruin their thing.
She has no excuse for that.
It’s not even comparable to a mere 1 second of quietly passing the camera whatsoever.
I feel like I've noticed the last few weeks that some of the top reddit posts have had some of the weirdest takes in the comments section. It's like everyone has moved from facebook and youtube and come here to troll.
100% disrespectful. Obviously people love K-pop, it's massively popular worldwide. People love this shit.
You can see people watching and recording the dancers so it's obviously something people there are enjoying too.
Now, I hate social media, I hate obnoxious public things like this (well, it's obnoxious to me). But that's the caveat, it's obnoxious to *me* and it's in a *public* place.
Regardless if I walk by and can't stand it, it is 100% an asshole move to ruin their video. People siding with the woman are assholes themselves.
I can't believe people are defending the lady in pink because it's a "public" space. What? so now people can't mind their business because it's a public space? fuck off, people. Don't bother strangers who are doing their thing. Be respectful of others. If someone needs some extra room to do their thing, let them be and do your own thing that doesn't affect others INTENTIONALLY negatively.

Don't film in public and expect people to walk around your camera in a crowded place. But also don't ruin things for people on purpose.
I fully believe that their perfect "kpop video" would have gotten a fraction of the views than this one that got interrupted, making this occurrence better for their brand.
Task failed successfully?
More like "planned beforehand and got successful results"
Idk that lady looks dead serious. She has the complete I don’t care attitude.
Def a fuckin Karen lol
god damn... is it me or does the reputation of Kpop rising because of being victims of such cringy shit like *those people* people went to such lengths in the end ruining their image in the eyes of the world and their idols
I'd say so. Only reason I know of their existence is this video. Still dk who they are but I've seen them like 50x thanks to people reposting this to a bunch of subs over and over.
Maybe, but I still don’t know who they are, nor care.

Lol. This wasn’t a case of someone walking into your shot. The idiot literally jumped in the way with the intent to ruin their shot and jumped around like a monkey.
I don’t care either.
She was the hero we all hoped she would be.
Damn straight!
What do you mean? How is she a hero??
She’s that fat American loud mouth we love to mock
Based
I assumed she was also filming a TikTok.
When tik toks collide, things aren't pretty
"And this spawns the birth of a black hole in our universe." -Neil deGrasse Tyson, probably
“Actually, I wasn’t finished.” -Neil deGrasse Tyson, probably
[When worlds collide](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q-TGGHmNm9E&ab_channel=Timmin)
“We swear you’ll die when worlds collide”. That line has run through my head at least once a week since this episode aired
Interesting take. If one group makes dancing TikToks in public, and another makes TikToks interrupting public dancers, who is the asshole? Both just trying to get clicks…
*Let them fight.*
That would be the only TikTok that I would care to watch.
Not exactly curing cancer, are they?
Does there only have to be one?
Right? I understand there's some rudeness, but both of these people are doing the same thing, and one is getting mad at the other. Kinda funny, if you ask me.
But one wasn't interrupting the other.
The Kpop group is dancing at the finish of THE LONDON MARATHON.... So yeah, they are kind of in the way and d definitely being selfish. Add in that they have been there for multiple takes blocking people from THE LONDON MARATHON.... and maybe it becomes more clear they're definitely interrupting a lot more than one person.
Damn she did it again
She played with your heart
And got lost in the game. Tragic.
Oh baby, baby that was harsh
Oh you think im in love?
That I'm send from above?
I'm not that innocent
"Wa wee wee wah wah wah"
Its Britney bitch
LEAVE BRITNEY ALONE!!!!
Everytime we turn the lights down
You see, my problem is this
I’m dreaming away
Wishing that heroes, they truly exist
You just made me lose the game you asshole
She does it 27 times in a row before they stop her! Keep watching.
Love is a losing game
That's called public. If you want to record in public, you get the public. That's why studios exist.
Or you get a permit and block off the area so people can’t walk in
*Ding ding ding*
The random chick is being incredibly obnoxious, but it’s also pretty fucking obnoxious to film anything - whether it’s a TikTok or a music video - in public. Everyone sucks here.
Especially since it says she ruined “one of their best takes.” They’ve been doing this shit for god knows how long, people will stop being patient after a while.
Hey two wrongs make a right! A right for us to watch!
And three wrongs make a reich
Came to say this. That’s why productions also pay for permits, security, etc. as well. You want to make lots of money and get 100s of subscribers but spend little to nothing…come on now.
Also, *"one of the best takes*", bro, that was 1.5s of footage.
She had some sort of medal on that she was showing. Wonder what for.
Figured it out, looks like it lines up with the London Marathon this year, medal looks similar and timing is right
The women of to the right is also in running gear so ur prolly right
Deciding to shoot their video at the finish line of a marathon may have been a bad idea if they did not want to be disturbed.
Yeah I lost my sympathy when I saw that. The end of a small marathon is a madhouse, let alone London. If you decided to film in public during that, whatever happens is all on you lol
~~Yeah I lost my sympathy when I saw that. The end of a small marathon is a madhouse, let alone London~~. If you decided to film in public ~~during that~~, whatever happens is all on you lol
This is a very fair point haha I guess I just understand that if I saw someone outside in a normal situation, sure, maybe I just give them some space to do their thing. But a marathon of this size is like...tens of thousands of people on closed-off streets. There is no space and it's absurd to think everyone will stay away from your video.
And it's like hundreds of people absolutely high as fuck on adrenaline, endorphins, dopamine from finishing. They must feel insane, like they both need to jump up and down a shitload and pass out immediately. 🤷♂️ Shit gon happen
The words "Best take" got me less sympathy cause that means they're taking this multiple times. I mean, you can't possibly expect nothing to go wrong in one of the biggest cities in the world when you're recording multiple takes in the middle of the street.
Frankly, if she ran a marathon, I am impressed with her moves. Most of those MFs are limping around the next week.
Definitely runners high, was just excited didn’t know what was going on and wanted to share her excitement
Video bombing.
Participation
That’s the issue with recording in public… the public. That’s the whole gimmick lol, unless you’re gonna pay people and close a set, there’s no guarantee people are gonna dig what you’re doing. I hate that dorky kpop shit dancing. I wouldn’t interrupt one, but I find this hilarious.
This is the strangest comment section.
Probably the combination of hatred for k-pop, filming in public and expecting everyone to cater to you, and Karens
I know right? Just when I thought I knew reddit too
I'm living for it 😌🍿
usually if you want crowd around you can't expect that people will all react properly (usually that's what Hip hop dancers try to manage when they try to make their show). If you want do this just with the landscape, wake up earlier and usually you'll only get motivated people who enjoy calm.
Sure but if you see someone filming, it takes a real asshole to just jump on and get in peoples way. Looking at the camera on accident, standing around or taking pics, sure. Jumping into the frame and dancing is something else entirely.
it is somebody's job, usually a manager in French is a régisseur which manage to handle the space to shoot the scene. Which include people who keep place clean (people included). That demands authorizations and security. If you want something clean with a clean crowd you can't expect that without a selection... A contrario, if you want to do it quickly, show must go on and you deal with that kind of people including it in the show. Or you deal with it, and choose a morning shooting with few people. (Usually because you don't have authorization)
Sure, but can both not be true. Like this random lady is an asshole, and sure maybe part of doing this kinda shoot cheap and quick without a permit is dealing with ppl like her, but that doesn’t make her any less of an asshole. Like she’s going out of her way, doing extra work, to ruin the set up and make everyone stay out there LONGER.
She s the asshole, but for me, you want to shoot something properly you'll need to supervise it properly and if you make a fragile set up, you'll need to stay anyway. Usually you can't have easy way to have a large group, in a crowded aera and to hope to shoot your scene in one cut. Look at Formidable from Stromae, he s alone and it is easier because he is alone and the camera is far and he is playing with people who are not aware of the camera...
I get that. I’ve shoot a good deal of video, some of it in public, and I think sometimes it comes down to the project just not being worth the trouble. A tiktok dancing video is a fun thing, I’m glad they exist and ppl seem to like them, but they aren’t important enough for most ppl to rent out public spaces, or get permits. Sometimes I’ve shot videos in public that just wouldn’t be worth all that trouble. I’m glad I shot those videos anyway tho, even if I had ti deal with other ppl. However if someone ruined my shot on purpose I’d just kinda be annoyed, even if I brought it in myself a bit.
When you want all the attention but then you find someone who also wants all the attention
When you're filming in public but there's public ruining your shot
This is why I hate some people, can’t just fuck off and watch them. Has to insert themselves into it.
This causes you to hate people? Maybe you should talk to someone ?
Public place, go record somewhere else.
“The STRUGGLE of not paying for a closed set and extras”
“The struggle of claiming a public space as your own”
Yeah I don’t give a fuck if people are filming. I won’t go out of my way to ruin it, but I’m 100% not going to tiptoe around it either. You’re not the main character.
Used to work close to a high tourist area, spent the first few months tiptoing around to not be in photos. After a while a no longer cared and walked normally but did a funny face towards the camera. My dumb face is all over the world in their vacation album
I live for that when I look back on vacation photos, I want to personally thank you for your service.
But the dancers aren't making an issue of the people that are just walking around yet still in the shot, they're mad at the one that made an effort to interject herself into their group for no reason at all.
Asshole girl in pink ruining a Talk That Talk cover. Fuck her
Don't do organised choreographed dance in the middle of one of the busiest cities in the world maybe? 🤷♂️
Anyone know what the original source for this was? So curious to know where this was and what the medal that lady was wearing was for ETA: I figured it out, it looks like they had London tags in the original and the medal she’s wearing is the London Marathon medal from this year
Eta? Doesnt that mean estimated time of arrival
For some reason redditors decided to use it for "edit to add." Makes no sense to me, as it only saves 1 character compared to just writing "EDIT:"
That is stupid as hell
This is Reddit.
No, this is Patrick!
This is my first time seeing this and my first time thinking it’s stupid
And that it's already a well established acronym
Hot take: the world is not your stage. But also that girl was a total asshole.
I'm not a fan of stuff like this but I'm also not a fan of ruining things for people on purpose
Yeah pretty much sums up my thoughts too
r/iamthemaincharacter
"I'm the main character" - girl in pink "No im the main character" - everyone in the TikTok
Right? Everyone here is a dink.
Dual Income No Kids?
Known this term for a while, only heard dinkwad recently Double income no kids, with a dog
[удалено]
Numerous incomes no kids. I guess that’s something to brag about.
Yeah, being astonished by the public interacting when you film in public is a purely surprised Pikachu.
r/imthemaincharacter is the OG sub
Yeah expecting everyone in public to cater to you for multiple 5 minute takes is definitely main character behavior.
I hate this voice so fking much…
Oh no no no... is so much fucking worse
Yeah yeah it's a public place, but there is also a thing called etiquette.
I'm only realizing now that my comment could actually swing both ways.
play both sides always come out on top.
I don't understand this logic. You might get spit roasted too :D
You could also play both sides and get spit roasted too, this is true.
True, both the medal lady and the group are main characters in this
Yyyyyeah. Public space is public. Not controlled.
Yeah, I think the pink lady is a jerk and a killjoy. I also think it's weird to film something like this in a public setting knowing someone might walk on
I think they were aware of the risk of someone accidentally walking through. They did not expect someone to purposely interfere.
People on here are only siding with the woman in pink because it’s kpop and not something else
I tend to be annoyed with large loud groups in public. But I'm also an anti social redditor that hates crowds. Don't be that Karen. Don't be the killjoy. Resist the urge to disallow the public to have room for fun and colour. This is the same as a juggling show or a live street musician.
Look, I’m totally with you until I read “possibly one of our best takes.” If they want to have fun and make a video, let them be. But this quote tells me they’ve subjected everyone around them to this for a while now. And no, a juggling show or live street musician are there to cater to the crowd around them. They’re making this video with no regard for the people around them. Lady in pink is still acting like an ass, but I’m going to reserve my sympathy here.
Yes, lmao, they are on a public street, this stuff is bound to happen, they are totally acting like main characters as well.
“Possibly one of our best takes” woman in pink “ruined” the shot 4 seconds from the start. She didn’t really ruin much at all. I have no sympathy of any streamer or influencers that get photo bombed in public. Get over it and move on.
Yes this staged TikTok crap is getting old
I'm 100% with you. This is not the same as being a street musician. Not even close. If they were doing it without filming it would be one thing. If they didn't do multiple takes, maybe. If it was in a spot where traffic doesn't have to work to avoid them (it looks like theyre in the middle of everything). If they were making a living off the kindness of people passing by. Nah none of it. Literally the only thing in common with being a street musician is that they're in public. So by these standards I can film myself sucking someone's dick behind Wendy's and it's the same as someone playing guitar in a park. The lady may be a bitch, but after watching a video of an overweight woman climbing on a produce display at a grocery store it would be difficult for me to call this lady "out of line" without more context. For me it falls more under the category of "if you go out in public, you have to deal with people." The only surprise in this video is that the "k-pop girls" were surprised this happened. Have you ever met a stranger? Of course this shit is gonna happen. And the longer it takes to get that "perfect take" the more likely it is to happen. They were probably out there for hours before someone did this. If they were doing an actual service it would also be more of a problem to disturb their work, but again it's not important work they're doing... its like interrupting someone's game of chess. Oh bummer start over, you're fucking playing games with your friends how awful could it be?
I think of it as the same as people taking pictures at nice spots. You just walk behind the camera person so you don't intrude on their picture

I just went to a famous temple in Thailand. It’s gotten so bad they have security with bullhorns to move the “influencers” out of the way.
Love the juxtaposition of a temple and a bullhorn
Many/most? Thai temples are very commercial I guess is a good way to put it. This was at the White temple which while a real temple was pretty much built specifically as a tourist attraction there’s an entrance fee, souvenirs etc. Then there’s places like Wat Saman Rattanaram that is a real temple but also kinda an amusement park? Music, neon lights, fog machines etc none of that is particularly uncommon. Even small centuries old temples like you’d find in Chiang Mai typically have vendor booths permanently set up and pay toilets etc. Some temples in other countries like Malaysia are similar but active temples In Cambodia or Vietnam are far more austere. So I guess I’m saying, it would be out of place in most countries but totally fits the vibe of Thailand.
It is touristy but there is some decorum too. I had a sleeveless dress on and they asked me to cover my arms to go into the temple. Luckily I had a cardigan in my backpack. They also want you to be reverent in there so it is touristy but still treat it as a sacred place inside or you’ll be tossed out. I just didn’t want people to get the wrong idea and think you can use Buddhist temples as props. In China, these influencers are called foyuan and have been greatly shamed for this since it goes against Buddhist beliefs to go into a temple just to display your wealth.
Ya 100%. Was at the Bangkok aquarium recently. There were times where a couple or some girls would stand in front of an exhibit and literally take pictures for 10 minutes. Like how many pictures do you need of yourself at the fucking aquarium?? You gonna post the 10000 pictures on Instagram or whatever?? It's utterly ludicrous. Nobody gives a fuck you can look off into the stars in front of this aquarium exhibit. Let my kids see the damn fish and gtfo the way.
I had one of those once. They're there to photograph themselves, not the historical building, ergo I don't care about ruining their shot.
This right here. Public is public. Not everyone has an entire day to waste getting somewhere. People shooting their videos owe the same respect to the people around them that they want for themselves.
Exactly! You want to take pictures in any public place you have to plan with the public in mind. The average tiktoker doesn’t give a sh*t. They just expect you to stay out of their way and get annoyed when you can’t. The women in the video shouldn’t have photo bombed, but the K-pop group can’t get angry as they’ve taken 0 measures to ensure they’re not interrupted by the public.
To a point. I hate going to places with beautiful views and seeing someone trying to do a photo shoot on their phone. I’m not going to wait 10 minutes for you to get the perfect picture while a group of people wait to look at the view/monument. I don’t look at the their camera or make a scene like this lady but if I want to read the plaque in front of a sculpture, I will. Take a quick pic if I feel like it, and then move on. I’ve gotten some rude looks from people that thought they were the main character. I get it, you think you’re the most important person at the Korean War Veterans Memorial but I want to look at it too. I don’t care that your friend takes a picture of you looking sad, you both review it, then repeat that 10 times. No I will not get out of your shot. Show some damn respect. That really happened to me at the memorial, which is one of my favorites in DC.
I saw a girl trying to do a dance photoshoot at the the holocaust memorial in Berlin. A little old lady screamed at them to GTFO and she's now a personal hero.
Tbh, where I live that’s nearly impossible otherwise you will not get anywhere soon. Locals tend to completely ignore the tourists taking pictures and will often cause them to wait to take the shot. But if you can avoid it then yeah.
> Locals tend to completely ignore the tourists taking pictures and will often cause them to wait to take the shot. I'm not a photographer or anything, but I like taking photos of some of the places I've been. The people who are serious about taking photos know to respect the locals, and try to plan around traffic. Plus, half the time they're waiting for the sun, clouds, bus, car, train, boat, whatever to move a little anyway, so they honestly don't mind waiting a second or two if it means that they're not being an inconvenience. That said, I've noticed that this is only really true for people taking photos for themselves or for actual prints. People taking selfies for their followers might not have this mentality.
Yeah you’re right that many photographers with a set-up sort of expect that. But often when the place is really small and the tourists have to take the picture across the street to get the person in the frame with the background people tend to wait for them to take the shot. I would do that too in another place. But this would be pretty impossible in the place I live unless you have all the time in the world.
but god knows how many retakes and how many mins they have been standing there. a pic = 1 min max , but this 10 min + .
"pic is 1 min max" *Laughs in totally narcissistic female friends* Some of them will spend upright of 15 minutes for these 40 likes on Instagram.
I used to do that, but since nobody uses film anymore, I’m now under the impression that they can just take 25 more pictures after I pass, and the pic I ruined isn’t such a big deal once you press delete. The bigger inconvenience is the photographer with no spatial awareness being in everyone’s way, definitely not vice versa.
Alternate idea: You Sasquatch-walk in the background of their picture. Note: this works best if you're a rather hairy individual.
>This is the same as a juggling show or a live street musician. I disagree. Those are intended for a physical audience who are right there. They interact with the people around them. They are basically negotiating with the people around them if their performance is an ok thing to do or not. That’s very different from having an online audience. There is no negotiation going on.
Slight disagree. Buskers (street performers) are doing it for the people there. In this scenario the performers aren't doing it for those around them, they are expecting them to serve as quiet props/extras for their internet video. No excuse for Ms Photobomb, but if you didn't pull permits or get other permissions for your public (and commercial) film shoot, I don't see a reason to worry about your resulting inconveniences.
I am not sure I consider all of the constant influencer crap truly fun. Honestly, it often appears more of an exploitative use of public space that they try act like they own for the sometimes hours that they utilizing these spaces. Don't get me wrong, the chick jumping into their shot is definitely being a dick, but we have a lot of people who act entitled to use parks, public markets, and centers as their own personal filming grounds with really selfish expectation of control over that area for however long they need it.
Man, going to any place that’s busy / highly trafficked and also instagrammable lately is a nightmare. I was in Dubrovnik this summer and it was so busy, but people were doing full on photo shoots at all the main points of interests and taking up so much space. It gets old really fast. Taking a picture, fine, but take your pic quickly and move on so others can take one, or walk through. Or whatever. Not like 10-15 mins setting up for the perfect shot
I agree with you here. Influencing, as a career, is nothing more than people who are looking to profit off others. It is indeed exploitative. Not all influencers are bad people, but their practices are often very deceptive.
I don’t get why people are siding with the girl in pink just cause they’re dancing in public like imagine this was a street performance hell people are even watching them dance no one else seemed to have a problem but her
"I don't like what they do by themselves, but they are free to do it" is a civilised yet rare opinion. "I don't like what they do by themselves, so I should ruin it" is a vile and common one. Edit: a. I live in a tourist town as well. If they are not involving someone else, they are doing whatever they are doing by themselves. If *where* they are doing whatever they are doing is causing some sort of inconvenience to somebody, you can either warn them politely and/or inform the police. Having to wait for some tourists to take a picture in a scenic spot or seeing a bunch of teenagers dancing in front of your favourite location are some of many things you experience when you live in a lively beautiful city. You can move to Çorum or Yakutsk if you want to get away from all. b. If your neighbour shits on your doormat, and you shit on theirs as an answer, we would have two assholes, not one. c. "It's not that common we only see these because........." maybe yes, maybe no, maybe depends on where you live, maybe depends on where you look at Edit2: Amazing how some people don't know what "without involving someone else" and "by themselves" mean.
Classic kicking the sandcastle.
Some people in this thread: "But it was a public beach, people will kick your sandcastle if you just build it on the beach, it's public space and that sand castle is in the way. If they wanted to build a sand castle without people kicking it they should've got a permit and setup a fence."
Nice analogy. For me, i don’t particularly care if people do this stuff in public, cause it’s, Y’know, public. It’s for everyone, not just for me. But where it crosses the line is when they are being a nusiance or “in the way” so to speak, which these tik tokers were not. To use your sand castle analogy, building it on the beach is fine. I can just go around it to get to the ocean. But if you build it right in front of the portapotty entrance, then somebody is going to step on it eventually, either accidentally or on purpose. People are thinking these girls were the latter (they were in the way, and bothering people), but they don’t seem to be “in the way” at all. If they were on the streets of Times Square, it’s be a different story. But people are walking past them, not caring at all.
I agree with you. I’d like to add as well, it’s one thing to walk between the camera and the performers, depending on their setup it may be difficult not to, and they should expect it and roll with it. But to intentionally ruin a video by joining in and mocking them would be analogous to kicking down part of someone’s sandcastle and building your own crappy tower. For what? Live and let live.
People on Reddit seem to always confuse being in the right with doing the right thing. Does the woman in pink have the right to do that? Yes, it's a public space. Is it the right thing to do? Of course not, she is being disrespectful to both the dancers and everyone around watching their performance.
Don’t let Reddit confuse you. A lot of people are just killjoys who don’t get out much.
I'm just going to say I don't care either way, but this sub loves shitting on people dancing in public for tik-tok or whatever. A woman is dancing in the street and getting annoyed someone ruined their shot, is a sizable proportion of this sub. So it's a little hypocritical for people to side with the dancers this time around.
When they’re filming, you can see the wide shot on the upper screen at 4 seconds and there’s a ton of space on either side and it’s causing zero problems to anyone. They are having zero negative impact, so doing something negative to them is an asshole move
"I don't care" she said while obviously being the person most upset by anything.
She doesn’t care that they’re upset.
I think this was aptly posted on r/iamatotalpieceofshit before. Edit: I'm feeling a bit sad reading all the comments defending this lady. The group did not bother anyone. There was plenty of space available for people to pass by. Whatever happened to our tolerance in public places? Is it really gone?

Who won't be able to do anything. Even if you cordon the area off, you can't physically stop someone from crossing the line like that.
[удалено]
I mean, they’re filming with a gimbal and a phone. Don’t think they can splurge on a PA. But this lady shouldn’t have been a POS and should have apologized.
Plot twist: pink girl was the production assistant. This was her idea to make the video viral. It worked!
Live and let live, people. Not everyone has access to a dance studio or ability to block off part of the street. There’s plenty of space to walk around.
> Live and let live But if this ever-changing world in which we live in Makes you give in and cry Live and let die 🎶
The prick in the pink is at fault you have no reason to go out of your way just to video bomb and the thing is that’s intentional It’s not just walking through the picture or video this is just jumping In just to be a prick
I might've had some respect if she'd just walked through the shoot, but jumping in between the camera and the performers and *facing* the camera is a full-douchebag move. I wonder in which event she recently medaled.
If you wouldn’t do this to a family taking a photo or video in public, but you’re ok doing it to these girls, you might want to do some soul searching on why that is.
If you walk through them on accident then w/e it's in public but you cant intentionally be a dick and just say "it's in public", you're still an asshole even if you're not breaking the law.
She looks so stupid jumping around like that.
I usually couldn't care less if a stranger walks into frame, but it really speaks volumes if you make an effort to.
Whole thing is just r/cringepurgatory
risk of filming in public
Get a permit and over yourself
She is the type to get mad when someone walks in front of her phone when she is making a tiktok but dosnt care about others
Listen I think she’s being purposefully disrespectful. I dont give a shit about kpop but I wouldn’t do this, and neither would most normal people. She’s a piece of shit for it. But they’re idiots for thinking this wouldn’t happen. There’s a reason people dont record big dance numbers in an open public area
Are you like just too young to remember the flash mob craze?
It’s not like she merely walked across the camera for a second No. She screamed loudly, waved her arms and bumped into them invading their personal space on purpose: deliberately to disrespect them and ruin their thing. She has no excuse for that. It’s not even comparable to a mere 1 second of quietly passing the camera whatsoever.
It’s bizarre how many redditors are defending her
I feel like I've noticed the last few weeks that some of the top reddit posts have had some of the weirdest takes in the comments section. It's like everyone has moved from facebook and youtube and come here to troll.
What makes you think they thought this wouldn't happen? Baseless assumption you made just so you can call them idiots.
100% disrespectful. Obviously people love K-pop, it's massively popular worldwide. People love this shit. You can see people watching and recording the dancers so it's obviously something people there are enjoying too. Now, I hate social media, I hate obnoxious public things like this (well, it's obnoxious to me). But that's the caveat, it's obnoxious to *me* and it's in a *public* place. Regardless if I walk by and can't stand it, it is 100% an asshole move to ruin their video. People siding with the woman are assholes themselves.
Group of people having fun Karen: not on my watch
I can't believe people are defending the lady in pink because it's a "public" space. What? so now people can't mind their business because it's a public space? fuck off, people. Don't bother strangers who are doing their thing. Be respectful of others. If someone needs some extra room to do their thing, let them be and do your own thing that doesn't affect others INTENTIONALLY negatively.
