A wave of criticism erupted over a Korean man who put his feet up on the seat in front of him while resting in a waiting area at an overseas airport. After it became known that he ignored a request from people nearby to "please take your feet down," more voices pointed out the man's bad manners.
According to online communities and social media on the 16th, on the 13th a post was uploaded to the official Instagram of the online community Bobae Dream saying, "At an airport in the Philippines, a Korean man put his feet on my chair." In the photo released with the post, the man is sitting on a chair in the airport waiting area with his shoes off, resting both feet on the backrest of the seat in front.
The tipster, who claimed to have been sitting in the front seat at the time, said, "I politely asked the man to lower his feet, but he frowned instead, ignored the request and kept his posture," and added, "Faced with his continued rudeness, I ultimately had no choice but to get up from my seat."
As the story spread, online users reacted, saying, "He lacks even the minimum etiquette required in public places," "Do they not know that such behavior overseas brings 'national disgrace'?" "It's truly impolite to ignore someone after they express discomfort," and "The area must have smelled of feet; there's no ruder nuisance than that."
