The snuggly couple in the above photo were seen on a bus in Busan this week and have caused a bit of online controversy for their allegedly excessive public displays of affection. A disgruntled fellow passenger took a photo of them and uploaded it to the internet in an attempt to publicly shame them.
Public displays of affection beyond holding hands is a bit of a taboo in Korean culture. Italian tourists take note.

Horny Couple on Bus Causes Netizens Buzz
Photos of a young couple making out are causing a bit of a buzz on the internet.
A post came up on the forum of a portal site, titled ‘Horny Couple, Too dirty to be seen’, thus grabbing a lot of attention.
The writer is a university student in her twenties, living in Busan. ‘I got on the bus early in the morning, and sat on a seat by the window,’ She added, ‘Soon a couple got on the bus and sat right next to me, kissing.’
‘It would have been understandable if it was a kiss on a cheek, but their PDA was over-the-top,’ she said. ‘With her head bent back, they were moaning and kissing. It was like porn,’ she said, showing her disapproval.
‘Their reckless behavior made a middle aged lady move her seat, yet the couple seemed to be amused by it,’ She described. ‘I had had enough. So I tried to embarrass them by openly gossiping about them with my sister, hoping that they would come into senses. Despite my best efforts, they kept on doing their business,’ she added.
Even when they had to stand at the gate to get off the bus, they did not stop making out.
The writer got so upset that, instead of confronting them, she took the pictures and published the photo of the couple.
Netizens responded to the pictures, saying ‘the bus is a public place, no matter how madly they are in love,’ and added ‘Somebody should’ve confronted them,’ while some netizens commented ‘Still, publishing private photos seems so cruel.’

내멋에산다:
Even dogs in rut would go somewhere private. This is.. *sigh*.. Whatever I say would fall on deaf ears.
rullllll:
He is in rut… that bastard… ke ke Take it easy man..
soo2002:
That bitch and bastard are sickly horny but don’t have enough money to get a motel room. Even though he seems like one of those bastards who can only manage it for about five minutes…
까만눈사람:
It’s a dogs’ wedding.. Pour a bucket of hot water on them.
구골플렉스:
In this case, staring them in the eyes should be the best possible solution.
Ya-ya:
If you are brave enough to have sex on the bus, you will have my respect. If you can’t, then get a room.
이뿌니:
They don’t have money to pay for a motel room. That’s what this is all about.
일곱번째그림자:
I’ve already seen an ‘R’ rated love scene on a bus before. This couple seems fine compared to my traumatic experience.
안녕하세요:
That bastard’s panties must be wet. It’ll be itchy when you pee.
프리오우:
Their identity should be published, so their life will be ruined for good.
세상만사:
Busan, again? They have Japs’ blood, it’s no wonder.
까치집:
There are a lot of teenagers in uniforms making out in public. Public places are not for PDA. Keep it private. What if children see you? I want to see the couple’s faces.
nosocool:
Disgustingㅡㅡ

미래로:
Oh dear. If only have I met those horny bitch and bastard.
오드리햅쌀:
They are two-legged dogs on the bus.
영진:
Next time, just do it! Just like one of Japanese pornos ke ke ke
오필리아:
Oh gosh I thought they were Siamese twins ㅡㅡ^
염화미소:
Youngsters don’t care what others’ think. Young couples these days.. They are not just making out, virtually having sex with their clothes on. You know what?
When I was little, dogs were not on leashes.. I often saw dogs mating.
When I see couples like them, it reminds me of those dogs. Human beings are supposed to know how to behave. Dogs don’t. The couples equate those dogs in rut.. ke ke
산딸기:
We should charge them for a motel room.
moongun:
What on earth is she doing with that short bastard…?
