South Korean Grand Opening

South Koreans like to have women dance in front of their store all day when they have their grand opening. I'm not opposed, but does seem a bit strange. I've asked a few Korean women here and they think it's a little odd but the men like it.

In the picture above, a pretty girl is dancing and speaking into a wireless microphone, I assume promoting the new store. Next to her is a man on stilts who is dressed like Jim Carey from the movie "The Mask".

Below is a video I took in Suwon before work. Different place, but same idea. These girls would dance a little then do some promoting and back to dancing again. Interesting? I think so.
