When they noticed someone filming them, the two smiled and waved at the camera.
While it occurred naturally and simply, the clip was reposted on many platforms and attracted nearly one million views and thousands of comments and reactions.
The comments mostly alluded to the contrast between the suits and the countryside setting. Some said the scenery looked more like Europe, comparing it to Venice or parts of France and Italy rather than Vietnam. Some users also recognized the two men from videos they had seen before.

Viewers later identified them as models and content creators Michał Kołkowski of Poland, and Andrew Royce of the U.S., both 27.

Before visiting Ninh Binh, the pair had posted another video filmed in Cao Bang Province. The video featured places such as Angel Eye Mountain, Phat Tich Truc Lam Ban Gioc Pagoda, and Ban Gioc Waterfall.
The locations were backdrops to their travel and daily life there and not introduced as destinations.
