SEOUL (The Korea Herald/Asia News Network): Relaxing by the poolside or at the beach in a bikini may not be banned by pool rules, nor is it deemed inappropriate, but walking around town in the skimpily stretched fabric could land one with a fine in South Korea.

Recently, several women have taken social media by storm for riding scooters and motorcycles while wearing bikinis in central Seoul. They were immediately reported to police for “causing discomfort”, and the issue has since sparked debate as to what is appropriate to wear in public.
