The above picture showing two people having intercourse went viral on Facebook.

A Facebook picture depicting a couple having sexual relations in broad daylight at University of Seoul (UoS) brought much controversy among netizens.

Titled, “Alti Lounge Sex,” the picture went viral on Facebook. According to the Internet community on July 29, the sex scene takes place at the Alti Lounge, where the couple, nude from the waist down, has intercourse on a couch.

The picture was taken on July 24 and a caption explains that the footage was taken from a CCTV.

The photo scene is spreading like wildfire through multiple social network services like Facebook.

“The location is a building at University of Seoul, but the facilities may be used by anyone, meaning it’s not certain whether either one or both are UoS students,” announced UoS. “Students use the area to rest, so there aren’t any CCTVs installed. Instead, the picture was taken by someone else.”

Opinions about the scandal differ among netizens.

One netizen posted, “It’s a surprise people behave like this in public places. Younger generation couples have no principles.”

However, there are those that criticize the person that uploaded the picture.

One critic posted, “Taking a picture of the two is an invasion of privacy. Though the incident is shocking, it’s more disturbing to snap a picture of them and have it posted on Facebook.”
