Women protest for Bra Freedom in Seoul

Seven members from a Facebook protesting group called, 'This Too is Protest' recently gathered around Hongik, Seoul, to protest their freedom to choose to wear or not to wear bras without being negatively judged. The protest started at Hongdae Children's Park and made its way all the way to Hongdae Entrance as these seven brave women paraded around holding pickets without wearing a bra.

The pickets were whimsical and witty stating things such as, "Let's live without a bra," and "Who is this nipple coverage for?" and more.

One of the protesting members commented, "I didn't wear a bra for two years. It's strange that society looks at you strangely because you don't do something you feel uncomfortable with." She also added, "This is the first time I attended a protest like this. It's a lot more exciting and fun than I thought it would be."

Bystanders were focused on whether or not they actually had bras on. A group of boys questioned, "Do they really not have it on? It seems like they do?" And even mocked, "They're crazy."

However, there were also those who were more open-minded about the protest and one even commented, "I saw someone who cursed at them but I think the protesting women seem rather confident and charismatic."
