The sex video scandal that hit the Beijing branch of clothing store Uniqlo in 2015 has been repeated, this time in a different clothing store in Harbin.
Daily Mail reported that the sex scandal video, now circulating in China’s social media sites, involves the fashion store owner and his female employee. They were having sex behind the till which was captured by CCTV. Every time a customer enters the store, they would separate and pretend nothing is happening, reported Wetinhappen.
The three-minute video was initially posted on Miaoai, a video-sharing network in China, and was widely shared but taken down. Those who were quick enough to download the video profited by making copies and selling it up to $2.90.
Authorities in Harbin are verifying the store’s location based on the footage because of conflicting reports that it could be a shop in Guangzhou Province. Observant viewers pointed out that the time stamp on the video is Oct. 21, 2015, at 15:03 or 3:03 p.m.
Since the video became viral, shop owners in Harbin are complaining it is affecting their sales. Those who have seen the video say the lovemaking between the boss and his worker is more intense than the one shown by the couple in Uniqlo. Although the Uniqlo coupled has been penalized by the Cyberspace Administration of China, the photo of the woman in the Uniqlo video was later used by a pub in Anhui Province in June.
