I usually never reads long blogs like this, but this truly was an interesting read. Thank you for taking the time to write it!
Got a question though, how often is there that rich western business actually make use of these offers?
In my (limited) experience I would say close to never? Western-Asian business relations tend to be extremely formal and reserved.
@lilsusie: Understand your point but it's not like what the OP describes is unknown around here is it? 10 minutes on the search function should result in many similar previous threads.

This might get a bit vulgar at points, so make sure your wives aren't in the room and cover your children's eyes!
xD warning in the blog post haha

Imo this blog is not only good to inform people from outside about their opportunitys in korea but also to kinda warn them about those places. I mean if I was there with some friends and none korean speaker I wouldn't wanna get in such a club by accident and in the end getting charged 5k for a night I just wanted to go drinking. Sure that might sound a bit naive, but you never know what happens in a country you have no idea about its culture.
But I gotta say it was very interesting to hear about an other side of Korea. I mean it's not like noone assumes such things there but you just don't have a clear picture of it. I don't think people will think less of Korea now because of that blog.

surprised it only costs 200 for anma i though it would be more
sounds baller haha
It's less than that or around that in Rhode Island for the same type of service, I'm actually surprised Koreans are that well-off to afford spending this kind of money on a regular basis.

I am Korean, but thanks for the lesson.
I'm sure he's thinking about his girlfriend and how respectful and polite he's being while he fucks whores.

I'm not sure how I feel about having a post like this out in the open. I know that people are aware (Rek mentions plenty of times of his nights out) but at the same time, I'm not sure if I want people to have this image of Korea to be this raunchy, underground nasty-nasty thing, complete with whores. Don't get me wrong, I know it's a part of the culture but not exactly the reputation that this country needs to get tourists. =/
Money can buy anything in this country. I know it's true in most countries too but Korea is just so blatantly immoral sometimes.
Here's a question for you, OP, why did you decide to post this on our forums at all? 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. 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. 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.
Perhaps this south park episode would address the issue as to why rich and powerful men want to have sex with many attractive women...

I enjoyed this blog, I've been meaning to go to Korea after a few of my friends get back from across the pond! I'll keep some of this advice in mind when I finnaly do go over!
Id be interested to read anything else about Korea you have to offer ^_^ Dining tips? Tourist spots? anything!

I love how you come in here with no knowledge about the real world and try to act like you are 'above' someone for whatever reason. You all have some convoluted ideal of the way a relationship should be and if it's not exactly like that the person causing the difference is evil or something. You say you're Korean but you must have grown up in USA or something to be talking like this.
In the real world, relationships aren't perfect. People cheat all the time on eachother or 'almost' cheat. Me having to do it sometimes due to my livelihood does not make me evil. It's a double-edged sword for me. I physically enjoy it at the time but I also wish deep down emotionally that I didn't have to do it for the sake of my job. Now you might argue that if I were a real man that I'd refuse to do it and find other work, but in the real world this isn't realistic at all. I value my job and position and if I have to stick my dick into a beautiful woman from time to time on one of my client's expense then I'll do it and not feel too bad about it.
If you really think about it: As long as I am very cautious with using protection and getting STD tested, which I am, and as long as my girlfriend never finds out no harm can ever come to anything. Infact only good can come from it. I am making good cash for us and I am also made a happy man for an hour from time to time.
The difference between cheaters in the normal world is that they are people like married men who fall in love with a secret lover and it retracts from their relationships. Or boyfriends who start treating their girlfriends like shit because they like a new girl better but they also wanna be getting laid by both so he stays with with both. Thats not what I'm doing at all.
I'm merely taking one for the team.

What an interesting read - I really enjoyed it. Your insider's view is revealing and gets into the nitty gritty of a taboo subject that most cultures avoid at all costs. It's fun reading about the Korean system but really I understand that this kind of thing happens everywhere in every major urban center with wealth.

Are Korean night clubs one big prostitution establishment?
I can see why nerds find this cool though but for me it's pretty disgusting. I consider most of these girls whores of some kind after reading through your entire post and would not touch them with a ten foot pole.
Is Korea really this deranged? I thought women in Korea had more respect than this. Ridiculous

Learn to read. I already have stated in my post that night clubs are just normal girls going to drink and have fun and possibly meet guys. No prostitutes at night clubs. Even the room salon girls that go to night clubs are generally the ones that aren't for sale at their respective room salons. And room salon girls represent less than 5% of the female population of a nightclub at any given time.

Yeah but the girls are still being ushered into booths where the guys are sitting, what's up with that?
I guess the gender roles in Korea differ alot from here and most of Europe. Guys think this is awesome but don't seem to pay any thought to what the women think of this.
I would just feel totally weird having girls pulled at me

You seem quite naive.
This is what one would call "cultural difference." It's just a system developed by Koreans. It's basically like speed dating and it's not like they are physically dragging the girls, though that does happen too sometimes. Though I can see how it would feel weird having a girl pulled next to you. Most first-time goers feel that way.
Koreans are in general a lot more shy than the western world with regards to approaching new people openly, so this system helps them out.
Guys think this is awesome but don't seem to pay any thought to what the women think of this.
You do realize that it's called a 'booking club' for a reason and that girls know exactly what they are getting themselves into when going there? It's not like anyone forced them in the front door of the night club lol.
|
From my understanding of OP's post, the women who partakes in said establishment, is fully aware of the situation they are in and embraces the fact that they are "chosen" due to their appearance and it gives them the rush they seek, even if they seem like they are conservative and shy (why enter the clubs in the first place if you're not looking and expecting?)
|
I am naive? lol man get off your high horses. How old are you again?
You can call anything a "cultural difference" regardless of how stupid it is. It's also a "cultural difference" that many muslim women wear burkas.
All I'm saying is that men definately seem to be the norm in Korea.
