How did Korea react to seeing a gay couple?

South Korea, alongside many Asian countries, are known for maintaining a conservative lifestyle, especially when it comes to sex and sexuality. Now, a newly released video reveals their reactions towards gays in public. 


A video titled "Two men tried walking while holding hands" is gaining lots of attention for emulating a previously viral video experiment of gays in Russia and the hate/harassment they received from the public and people in the streets. Check out the video above to see what is in store for this Korean gay couple.

Fortunately for this Korean mock gay couple, they received no harassment but still got a few looks from the public (better than verbal abuse from your own community). Mainly doing common forms of PDA like hand holding and hugging, mostly older people stopped and stared for a moment but showed no blatant hate or reason to reprimand the couple for their actions. Maybe Korea is turning over a new leaf towards homosexuality – or maybe it has a much longer way to go? What do you think. Let us know in the comments below!
