Critics say Korean eatery’s sexy dance move for women staff ‘like working in a brothel’
Employees promised bonus if sexually provocative ‘Terminal Dance’ to attract customers goes viral
A South Korean barbecue restaurant has sparked controversy after posting a video of women staff performing the provocative “Terminal Dance”.
Eatery bosses also promised dancing staff a bonus if the clip reached 1 million views.
Controversy surrounds Gopchang House in Seoul after asking its women employees to perform a suggestive “dance service” in front of customers by mimicking the viral, so-called Terminal Dance.
The restaurant filmed their provocative moves and uploaded the video to social media, with the title “Hormone Shop Performing the Terminal Dance”.
The Terminal Dance has become popular across social media for its sensual style, which features exaggerated hip sways, rolling shoulders and flirtatious hand gestures.
Participants tend to wear tight shorts, high heels or sporty uniforms to highlight their curves. One of the most popular videos of the genre has already attracted more than 398,000 likes.
Unlike the revealing outfits worn by social media performers, the restaurant staff performed the dance in standard work attire and aprons, maintaining a typical restaurant appearance while playfully shaking their hips and shoulders.
