In what one commenter has called, “The most egregious incident of mass pixellation I’ve ever seen,” Korea Beat breaks the story for the English blogosphere.  Evidently, a club in Gangnam is causing quite a stir, er, scandal, after Yonhap News released risque photos (SFW) of young Koreans doing the bumping and the grinding, otherwise known as boobi boobi (부비부비), or basically the sort of thing good Christian church-going moms would view as the devil’s work.

Yonhap might be just using blurry photos in search of a story.  The only way they might be able to raise eyebrows is if the  Gangnam club’s dancegoers were following the banned Jamaican dance craze called ‘daggering.’  But upon closer inspection of the angles of gyration and the alignment of pixels, this just seems like a more sexualized form of crunking. 

To summarize, Yonhap photographers go to a club like Harlem, or a booking club like Mool, both in Gangnam and, instead of getting down with the beat, they snap shots like at some auto show convention.  The bouncer is probably regretting, “Those dudes with the huge cameras looked like trouble.”
