In cities across the world, LGBTQ+ individuals celebrate the love and pride in themselves by holding and attending Pride parades. These events are usually inclusive of all sexualities and gender identities, meaning anyone can join the celebration as an ally.

On Day 8 of her trip, after sightseeing during the day, Yuri went out at night looking for a good time. And did she find one!
It seems like Yuri stumbled upon a pride parade in progress and was first surprised at all the activity. Though the video is blurred, the rainbow pride flags can be easily made out.

The party did not stop there, as Yuri entered a bar where she danced with some other bar-goers. While in the bar, she strutted her stuff and posed along to the song playing, “Pose” by Madonna, which is an LGBTQ+ anthem.

This is actually a bit of a full circle moment, as Girls’ Generation’s “Into The New World” is a popular track played at Seoul Pride events!
