Finns Beach Club, a prominent venue in Canggu, Bali, has faced intense online criticism following a viral video showing extreme overcrowding during a sunset pool party. The footage, shared by travel influencer Kris Diandro, depicts hundreds of people packed tightly into an outdoor pool.

The video has garnered hundreds of thousands of views, prompting significant backlash from social media users, particularly in Australia.
