SNSD was recently spotted bowing in a respectful 90 degrees to their juniors, A Pink, while at an event.

An online community board shared a video of the moment under the title, ‘SNSD Bowing to A Pink’. In a culture that’s centered around hierarchy and respect, this short moment was enough to attract several headlines, since it’s not expected for seniors to bow down to such a degree to their juniors.

In the video, A Pink greets their seniors, and Sunny and YoonA immediately respond by bowing back.

In a previous radio show, the girls once stated, “Rookie groups have a hard time approaching us so we always bow back to them in 90 degrees. It’s only been four years since our debut so we’re not in the position to be receiving bows, but bowing right with them.”

Netizens commented, “They’re not just talk, they’re action as well,” “SNSD is known for their respectfulness,” and “Very friendly atmosphere.”

I really wanna hate Yoona because she's so pretty and all my boy biases list her as their ideal girl but she really does seem like such a sweet person.

I wish more seniors in Korea would be like this. I understand that it's their culture but imo politeness should always go both ways.

yes ia. unfortunately there are still seniors who act like the world is over just cause a rookie forgot to greet them.

Well it's not like they walk into a room and expect people to immediately bow to them, but if they go out of their way to bow to a junior and that junior doesn't return the gesture I think THAT is a little bit rude.

It's like holding out your hand when you introduce yourself and getting completely dismissed.

lol had this discussion with friends after mama fancams were uploaded because snsd kinda seems uncomfortable that rookie groups don't bow as much as they did when they were rookie groups.

this. i think snsd are making an example of themselves. anyway, snsd have hinted so many times that rookies don't bow as much as they did.

And that is why they're now respected idols while rude rookie groups remain rookies.
Korea is big on manners.

GD bows to everyone yet I've seen alot just walk off stage and not do the same. Imo it's kind of rude.
