Was ist die Hintergrundgeschichte hinter dieser Figur?

I don’t know if that’s supposed to be a specific historical person/character, but I believe he’s in a [cangue](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cangue#/media/File:Otium_Sine_Dignitate,_Korea.jpg). They’re punishment/public humiliation devices similar to the stocks or pillories in Europe. The guy in your video is being publicly humiliated as well as physically punished. Maybe he’s just intended to represent someone in misery?
