The woman was wearing a bikini and was caught guiding people with her hands through the holes on both sides of the “angel box,” allowing them to touch parts of her body, including her breasts, according to the Seoul police station.
Police officers were called to disperse the large crowd that had gathered and prevent the woman from continuing the performance.
The model wrote on social media: “I don’t have fake breasts. I didn't have breast surgery. (My cardboard appearance) is not a viral marketing stunt, I just wanted to promote myself (to become more popular). It's about freedom of speech… I don't think she should be accused of indecent exposure. How can I be accused of an obscene performance if (people) couldn’t see (my body parts)?”
Currently, under South Korea's Minor Crimes Punishment Law, anyone who causes embarrassment or insult to others by “excessively exposing” their body or revealing a part of their body “that should be hidden” faces charges under South Korea's Minor Crimes Punishment Law. obscene exposure.
If someone is found to have committed “overexposure” in South Korea, the penalty is up to 100,000 won (almost R$400), while the penalty for an “obscene act” can be a year in prison.
