Kirk here with an English report on a “hugging and kissing” incident. Actually, I learned about this yesterday and considered posting about it then tbut decided against it because I didn’t feel I could be sure about what the fuss was about. The RKK report I saw on TV made me wonder if the young couple got in trouble for mild expressions of affection. But, when I looked at other reports on the web, I got the impression that the behavior was considerable more “over the top” than that. The “multiple tips from outside sources” mentioned in the article may be related to a video that was recorded from outside of the building (though a window) mentioned in this Japanese-language report: https://www.fnn.jp/articles/-/490041
Moral of the story: If you want to display affection at work, make sure you are not being observed (or video tapped).
