Even some of the tweet's replies have gone semi-viral, racking up thousands of likes.

Some, however, saw the habit as a strategy to avoid any accusations of inappropriate behavior — sometimes seen as a negative symptom of the #MeToo movement — though false allegations of sexual misconduct are very rare.

Many Twitter users have rejected this narrative, pointing out that a man can be respectful of women's bodies and personal space without chalking it up to paranoia.

Others have noted that the practice, sometimes called "manner hands" or "hover hands," is a sign of respect in Korea. Reeves, who has Chinese heritage, identifies as an Asian American and person of color.
