A photo shared on social media shows an adult man wearing a pink women’s one-piece swimsuit, along with a matching swim cap, at a swimming pool in Seoul during a summer heatwave. The image circulates with a caption describing the person as a “public nuisance,” and the original poster says they were startled when arriving and questioned why a man was wearing women’s swimwear. Some commenters express discomfort or criticize the person’s appearance, while others argue that clothing choice is a matter of personal freedom and that bystanders can ignore it.
At least one commenter claims police escorted the person out of the pool. However, the reported police response is not independently confirmed in the coverage. The Seoul Metropolitan Government runs multiple Hangang Park swimming facilities and water parks along the Han River, including Yeouido and Ttukseom swimming pools and several water parks. The incident continues to draw divided reactions online, with discussion focused on whether the clothing choice is appropriate in a public recreational setting.
