After dispatching eight patrol cars to stop the motorcycles and verify the identities of the riders, the police found that an adult video production company was conducting a 'bikini riding' promotion.

On the 11th, they were investigated by the police for excessive exposure after riding around Teheran-ro in Gangnam, Seoul, for about 20 minutes wearing bikinis. At that time, they stated during the police investigation that "we rode motorcycles for magazine promotion purposes."

Then, on the 14th, numerous posts and photos appeared online reporting that YouTuber and Twitch streamer A was seen riding a kickboard in a bikini near Hongik University in Seogyo-dong, Mapo-gu, Seoul.

The woman posted on her Instagram, "Wearing what you want is freedom," and added, "Looking at me like this is freedom, but please don't touch."

On the 16th, A also uploaded a video of riding on the road in a bikini in Jamsil. It was reported that the 'bikini riders' who rode through downtown Jamsil with A continued their activities in Busan's Seomyeon, Gwangalli, and Haeundae for two days starting the day before, undeterred even after police investigations.

The Busan police are reviewing legal measures, considering applying Article 245 of the Criminal Act on public obscenity or Article 3, Paragraph 1 of the Minor Offenses Act on excessive exposure against them.

Under the Minor Offenses Act, the crime of excessive exposure can be applied if a person publicly exposes major parts of their body in a public place, causing embarrassment or discomfort to others. Violators may face a fine, detention, or penalty not exceeding 100,000 won.
