Who ever thought a man and his wheelie suitcase could cause so much outrage?


A video of a South Korean politician and his luggage has gone viral - and for all the wrong reasons.

Kim Moo-sung, the 65-year-old politician, made an entrance to remember at Seouls Gimpo International Airport arrivals lounge this week when he nonchalantly pushed his suitcase along the ground to a male assistant who was waiting for him.

His move has been dubbed the authoritarian no-look pass by the internet after the video was posted on YouTube by South Korean news channel YTN News. The name references the basketball move when a player looks in one direction but passes the ball to his teammate in another.

But the internet is not at all happy with the authoritarian no-look pass, saying it is a symbol of male entitlement.

 

The video had received more than 175,000 views on YouTube at the time of writing.

Over on Reddit , in a discussion where the clip was titled Korean Politician Swag, the video had gathered over 1700 comments.

If by swag you mean douche, then absolutely, one commenter wrote.

You call this swag, but rather this is something you would see often by these big shot men in Asia, another angry commenter wrote.
