A viral video of a naked woman on the streets of Gangnam, southern Seoul, uploaded to YouTube last week, is prompting a slew of false rumors.
When the video went viral on Thursday, netizens spread the rumors about how she ended up in her birthday suit. They also claimed that the woman had been questioned by police.
However, Gangnam police said the video had been uploaded four days before, and went viral due to the rumor mongering.
“It seems as if someone deliberately made up stories about an existing video to get attention,” said the police.
“Once we receive reports from the woman or another relevant party, we will find who first spread the video and consider punishment.” [Korea Times]
So let me get this straight, if you take a video of someone walking naked in public in Korea and post it to the Internet, you are the one that gets in trouble?
