A Chinese influencer sparked controversy in a popular tourist spot on Mt. Fuji in Japan after spraying an unidentified liquid on the grass.
An influencer named 'Zhang Ao' posted a video on October 16, showing him spraying a liquid on the grass near 'Lou Yishi' in Lake Kawaguchi. In the video, he criticized the government for being lazy and said he intended to 'drug the weeds.' The video sparked heated discussions, as some netizens believed the liquid might be a harmful herbicide.
Upon public critique, Zhang Ao clarified that the spray bottle contained only pure water, aiming to create a specific effect for the video. The government of Yamanashi Prefecture is investigating the incident and will closely monitor if the grass is affected by any herbicides.
