From the video footage, it can be seen that a group of teenage boys wearing tank tops and minisets perform graceful dances like a woman. Their action was watched by dozens of cafe visitors who crowded and cheered.
This video went viral on social media and received a lot of criticism from the public because the actions of the teenagers were considered an LGBT party.
The climax, a group of people on behalf of the residents of Kalibata, last night stumbled upon the Wow Cafe. They wanted to meet with management and clarify the video.
