I have to say I actually bothered to read the entire post and it was a pretty crazy read.
That being said I agree with what lilsusie is saying.

I believe that people reading it understand that this is only the dirty part of Korea. I could make a beautiful post about my Korean culture and all our beautiful tourist spots and foods. Maybe I'll do that next! Why did I decide to post it? Well I see blogs everywhere about people going to Korea so they may as well understand what they might possibly want to try out.

I believe in the freedom of information.

Do people ever go to these places alone, or do they always go in groups?

how do they have so much customers when it costs that much!?!?

are there really that many rich people in korea? or are they mostly repeat customers?

wow... 10-30k a month, that's like the pay of a damn lawyer lol


Yes customers are almost always regulars. With millions of people in Seoul of course there are so many rich people. Also the bill often times goes on the company card.

What kind of people are these girls anyways? Some sorry sad tale of a poor girl trying to make it out alive, sex addicts, superficial materialistic whores, slavery, runaways etc..

I mean prostitution is prominent all over Asia, but I'm curious about, being the richest area in the country, why do these girls end up doing this, especially with the high educational and literacy rates in the country.

Yes, freedom of information, but you also realize that TL isn't the place for people to say "OMG I'm going to Korea, I'm totally gonna blow 5k dollars on a night out with beautiful women!" (Well, maybe a few guys can but most are high school/college students who are poor) And those who CAN spend that much... already have. And blogged about it.

Don't assume on the internet that people will take this as "only the dirty part" of Korea. It's a part of Korea that most Koreans are not proud of, thus not really something that you need to publicly put into light. =/ Those are my 2 cents.

Most of them start off as normal girls. College students. Poor families. Rich girls wanna get back at daddy. Etc. The thing is, this culture is sooooooooooo dependent on aesthetics that, simply put, if you're pretty, you'll get paid. A part time job at a store/fast food joint will pay between 2.50 to 4 bucks an hour. $2.50 an hour for a whole day or to fuck some guy for a few minutes for a TON more... most girls will take the latter route. And like OP said, they start to like the money, thus they stay in the business.

Oh come on, these blogs are the type that almost every male on this forum wait for. There is something about descriptions of the unattainable pleasures which only the extremely wealthy or extremely lucky can partake in that feed our imaginations. Insider stuff like this in interesting and it's always fun to get a description of a part of Korea or any foreign country for that matter that isn't so publicly spoken about.

and party poopers are no fun

If it's something that most Korean's aren't proud of why does the government do nothing to stop any of it? Why do almost all korean males partake in it in one way or another? If you were unaware in many areas they have police guarding the perimeter of the red light districts! It's just the way it is and me sharing this information with a gaming website isn't going to do anything other than inform.

If anything, the korean way of disliking something but never having the balls to bring it out in the open is exactly why change for the better doesn't happen.

Perhaps I'll run for president of Korea! O wait I'm a USA citizen damn.

I'll admit, this was a rather interesting blog we never really see everyday.... Whether it was for the benefit for many TLers here, filling them with knowledge they may or may not want, and allowing to see a whole new aspect some many never really came across, I do feel people do have the right to know about anything and everything that goes around in this world. Be it a dark side of the story or the much so covered up light side, the conclusion only lies to one's self of judgement.

So in my opinion, although I don't feel the need to go to these places when I come to Korea, I just learned something completely new that I have little to absolutely no clue about. Thus, I'm satisfied for that regard. Kudos to you OP! 5/5!

*Edit* Basically I agree with the OP more here with freedom of information in regards to any upcoming debates to come.

Yes sometimes they are very cheap crappy room salons with ugly girls. Sometimes they are places where you get a bottle of whiskey and 1on1 talk/drink with a girl then go **** when you both want. With things like that in korea it's not like theres some set norm, each place often has it's own way of operation. But my suggestion would be to never go into any of those places, they are very seedy. The good room salons and such will always have names like "Tree" or "Apple" or "Luxury" or something like that.

I too have no intent on ever going to these places if I visited Korea, but I do not see anything wrong with this blog. There's dirty things that go on everywhere in the world and you can find them if you know where to look/ask.
He has the right to blog about this, because some people are genuinely interested in these things (for good or for bad) and really it does not do anything to interfere with the other TLers

I think most people reading this realize that this is not everyday Korea. The post makes it pretty clear that most normal people can't afford this kind of lifestyle, and that it really only caters to a certain type of rich person. Prostitution and escorts appear almost everywhere and I would argue that it doesn't present Korea in a bad light, especially compared to how it works in some other countries. And I doubt anyone is going to decide to go to Korea based on a post like this - even if we could afford it, and very few of us can, this is a Starcraft website and I think our primary interest in Korea is always going to be that.

I was just expressing my opinion too. I live in this country and trust me, I know how corrupt things are. It's terrible. But that's for the nation to figure out. I don't know why you felt compelled to inform about your country's dirty laundry, that's all. I know many men partake. I know that the rich in Korea feel that the whole nation is their playground and they can do whatever they want. But that doesn't necessarily make it right. Meh. I guess it just seemed weird that some random guy who has 10 posts decided to make a post making Korea sound like some woman whore haven. *shrug*

I sure as hell hope so that ppl know this isn't everyday Korea. You'd be surprised at how many TLers think Korea = starcraft left and right with hot women everywhere you turn. It's not.

well its informative and fun to know. All countries have something dirty going on and he just wanted to tell us it in more detail.
IMO not everyone is going to be able to come around to korea and enjoy/explore what he has posted. But i do understand why youre kinda taken aback by this. One being the pride and two being thats hes a low poster =p
