So on the bus today just passed lotte world in Jamsil I see this hip looking guy, slick hair, leather jacket on a shiny new ducatti with these two schoolboys kneeling in front on him with their hands above their heads in a praying fashion... They actually didnt too worried about it..

The guy on the bike looked as if he was telling them some stuff and was a bit pissed off looking.

Am I right? Was this some kind of Korean gang initiation?

I'm pretty sure they kiss and hold hands in a real gang initiation.

... and, of course, sit next to each other with their hands on each others thighs (how sweet).

Korean "ganstas" - the most macho and badass pimps and loansharks ever... EVER!!!

the weird thing was they were not on a street corner as such but on a traffic island. Which made it that bit more strange.

Kids maybe just ran out in front of him or something, he nearly killed them, so he decided to teach 'em something?

No, gangs here have to *beep* each other up the ass and have a competition on who can wear more pink.

Kneeling and begging for forgiveness is typically considered to be a sincere form of apology in Korea. It's meant to show shame and regret. It usually looks like a lame sham to me to keep up appearances.

Anyhow, they probably threw something at his bike or did some other stupid thing. A gang initiation? Hardly.
