[Asia Economy Reporter Yoon Seul-gi] A man and woman who sparked controversy by riding a motorcycle in revealing outfits on a street in Gangnam, Seoul, have now appeared in Itaewon, Yongsan-gu, Seoul.

On the 28th, Ms. Im Green, known as the so-called 'Gangnam Motorcycle Bikini Woman,' posted on her social media (SNS), "I went riding in Itaewon to keep my promise."

The video Ms. Im uploaded together showed her and a man known as 'Boss J' riding a motorcycle and receiving cheers from citizens. Their outfits were similar to those that caused controversy earlier; the man wore orange pants and was shirtless, while Ms. Im wore an orange bikini.

Earlier, on the 18th, Ms. Im was booked by the police on charges of excessive exposure under the Minor Offenses Act. On the 31st of last month, when heavy monsoon rains poured, Ms. Im and Boss J rode motorcycles around Gangnam wearing highly revealing clothes, which spread online and caused controversy.

On the day of her police appearance, Ms. Im's attire was once again under scrutiny. A video presumed to have been taken before her police appearance, posted on her SNS, showed her getting out of a yellow sports car wearing a wedding dress.

Meanwhile, in an interview with Sunday Newspaper on the 25th, Ms. Im commented on the 'bikini riding,' saying, "When Yoon Bok-hee first appeared wearing a miniskirt in the 1960s, there was a strong voice opposing miniskirts," adding, "At that time, the miniskirt was seen as a tool expressing the suppressed female self-identity."
