In August, MEOVV sparked major reactions after they were filming in the streets of Japan, and Ella accidentally kicked an old man who was passing by.

While the video first went viral when it happened in mid-August, it resurfaced and garnered backlash when shared by a Japanese netizen.

In the tweet, the OP wondered whether MEOVV had “permission” to be filming something on the sidewalk in Roppongi, a popular destination among locals and tourists, and known for being busy, especially in the evening. They described it as an annoyance.

The tweet was shared on the Korean forum and also received criticism, with netizens wondering why they chose such a busy street and caused trouble, even sharing that it would spark huge controversy straight away if it happened in Korea.

• Why at a crosswalk…
• No, but seriously, why would you do something like that right in front of a crosswalk? That’s such a nuisance. What if a passerby tripped over or got hit and hurt? Why go all the way to another country just to cause trouble? Have some shame. If this happened in Korea, they would’ve been cursed out on the spot. It’s just like people yelling at airport nuisances. Which agency, which group are they from?
• What’s wrong with them…
• Why would they do that in a place like that…
• Even the shoes are platform ones… wow…
• I’ve never seen anyone film like that in the middle of a busy street. Usually, people do it at times when it’s empty or in a park.
