Broadcaster Shin Dong-yeob revealed anecdotes about the provocative club scene and naturism he experienced in Berlin, Germany.
On the 9th, the YouTube channel ‘Zzanbro Shin Dong-yeob’ released a video titled ‘Lucky Alberto Danielle [Zzanbro EP.170] Non-mainstream talks by Koreans Abroad.’
That day, Shin Dong-yeob recalled visiting Berlin while filming the Netflix original variety show ‘Sex+People.’ Shin Dong-yeob said, “Ninety percent of the footage from the Berlin club couldn’t be broadcast,” adding, “Even though it’s an OTT, we couldn’t air it,” which surprised viewers.
He then talked with Danielle, who is from Germany, about Berlin’s distinctive club culture. Danielle explained that entry to Berlin clubs is judged not by what you wear but by whether you came to enjoy the club culture or just to look around, saying, “Dress can be misleading.” When someone mentioned a space called a ‘darkroom’ during the conversation, Danielle drew a line with a laugh, saying, “I haven’t been to one.” She then described it as “a very erotic space,” explaining, “It’s part of Berlin club culture, and some clubs have darkrooms with beds,” which drew attention.
Shin Dong-yeob also spoke about the naturist culture he encountered in Berlin. He said, “Berlin respects individual freedom and sexuality,” and related a story about a man he met there. According to Shin Dong-yeob, the man identified as a naturist and said his wife and children understand his preference to live without clothes. The man even said he wanted to be naked when his in-laws visited, and not only his wife but her family accepted that. Shin Dong-yeob said he was surprised by the cultural difference, commenting, “That’s impossible on our side.”
From club footage that couldn’t largely be shown even on OTT to an anecdote about naturism respected by family, Shin Dong-yeob drew attention by sharing stories of unusual cultures he experienced firsthand in Germany.
