Ailish Visited Korea for a 2-Day Trip on the 18th
Middle-Aged Hikers Watch in Amazement as Air Gun is Used
Pop star Billie Eilish, visiting Korea, was surprised to see hikers using air guns commonly found at the entrances of hiking trails in Korea, and a video of this has become a hot topic among netizens. On the 24th, a video showing Eilish discovering an air gun at a park or hiking trail entrance and being fascinated by it was posted on X (formerly Twitter). In the short video of about 30 seconds, Eilish, upon finding the air gun, playfully blows air in a random direction before placing the air gun back in its spot.
At this moment, a middle-aged man approaches and skillfully uses the air gun to remove dirt and dust from his sneakers, and Billie Eilish and her group watch this scene with amazed and blank expressions. The air gun allows hikers to easily remove sand, dust, or foreign substances from their shoes, and many local governments have introduced them competitively. When you place your clothes or shoes near the air gun and press the button, a powerful blast of air blows away the dust in just a few seconds. However, because the air pressure discharged from the air gun is high, users must be cautious to prevent safety accidents.

The netizen who posted the video added, "Billie was shocked and found it so funny when she first used the spray to clean shoes during hiking in Korea without knowing how to use it properly, then saw someone else using it correctly." Netizens who saw the video also reacted with comments like, "What is a Grammy winner doing wandering around Korea?" and "Billie came to Korea in hiking fashion and is just having fun." Regarding the scene where Billie Eilish witnessed the use of the air gun, comments included, "Is this really the combination of Billie and an ajusshi (middle-aged man)?", "Since foreigners don’t use it well, the ajusshi seems to have come over to subtly show how to use it," and "Everyone is bewildered watching the expert’s demonstration."
