An Indonesian fan explained that Carmen was even going the extra mile to be polite with her palm open upwards.
in indonesia if someone want passing person/people in front of him/her they will take a bow while passing for being polite and the best part is when you bowing your hand is open up like carmen doing in the vid, thats indonesia's thing, and thats why its so funny for indonesian😂
