#69. SEOUL IDOLS
Sunny spring Saturday, and the tourists are back in Washington Square. Many languages, many, many cameras. Cell phones, selfie sticks, 35mm SLRs, short lenses, zoom lenses, even camcorders.
But wait. I also see camcorders so big you need two hands to shoot. One with a Gimbel stabilizer. Another with a shoulder pod. Two more on tripods. So, I start to count. Who are these people? All dressed in black with black baseball caps. Looks like a media SWAT team.
Turns out to be a crew of 12 from South Korea. Ten of them have cameras. Shooting a doc about Washington Square? Not quite. The Park crowd parts suddenly for a team of 6 female dancers, stars of K-POP music videos. The music gets loud, the dancers do their thing, the shooters shoot.
Just another day in WSP.
