Man Goes Shirtless On Emirates Business Class — “It’s Not Your Bedroom,” Netizens Say
Did he really sleep topless, though?
With everyone rushing to film their next Business Class experience on a flight, content creator Jeremy Park (aka @jpark_fit) decided he needed to stand out by taking his top off.
But the 28-year-old professional boxer is now facing backlash after posting a video of himself waking up shirtless in Business Class on an Emirates Airbus A380, reportedly flying from New York to Milan.
In the clip, the TikToker, who has 4 million followers. wakes up from his lie-flat bed in Business Class shirtless ("Blessed to be waking up horizontal").
He then talks about his “Business Class morning routine flying Emirates” as he walks to the bathroom — clothed — "to freshen up, outfitted myself, little brush of the pearls, popped on my lenses. I was ready for breakfast.”
Jeremy then raves about the crepes served onboard for breakfast, manages to squeeze in time for a movie, before signing off as casually, as if waking up half-naked on a plane was perfectly normal.
Performative? Absolutely.
If you thought the internet would be kinder to him, given his gym-honed physique that he flaunted with his top off, you're wrong.
Instead, the clip quickly attracted a flood of negative comments, with many telling him to put a shirt on and others citing hygiene concerns.
Guess there are other hygiene crimes on planes besides walking barefoot to the lavatory.
Many also pointed out that an aircraft cabin is a shared public space, not his bedroom, agreeing that being shirtless on a plane is a hard no, except with very limited exceptions.
“Maybe if you were in First Class with a sliding door and need a shower?” read a comment.
On Emirates A380 planes, only First Class passengers have access to onboard shower facilities.
Others felt the display was simply inappropriate.
“Not everyone is comfortable seeing your chest staring back at them,” wrote one netizen.
Some observers were also skeptical, suggesting Jeremy probably wasn’t actually sleeping shirtless, and had merely removed his top briefly to film the clip for shock value.
If that was the plan, it definitely worked.
Still, a handful of fans rushed to his defense.
“He didn’t use bright filming lights or disrupt anyone. Who are these salty trolls?” wrote one supporter.
“No one was hurt, no flights were delayed, and no safety rules were broken,” another added.
