A Korean friend showed me this. The news report is about women who come here on E-6 visas (entertainer visas). They think they are coming here to be singers but they are forced to sleep with US soldiers. Women on E-6 visas are required to pass an STD test once every three months. A woman who is interviewed says that she is forced to commit 4-6 acts of prostitution a month. If she doesn't her boss will swear at her and tell her to get out. I didn't realize it was that bad.

More widespread throughout the Korean populace in general, why can't I find that in the news as easily on MBC?!?!?!?!?!

Shocked I am. Shocked to think that there is prostitution going on in Korea.

next someone will tell me that the natives eat some kind of fermented cabbage.

Sadly sexually active prostitutes are/were one of the founding mothers of contemporary South Korea. You can understand the reason behind South Korea's strong Christian Protestant population just by looking at this news.

Sex trafficking has introduced some good english teachers though. I know several girls working as teachers now after they got out of the bar owners grasp.

I understood part of it. It starts off with-
우리 현대사의 아픈 부분 중 하나죠 (There is one part of our modern history that is sickening).

It then goes on about all the prostitution that happens around US military bases in Korea.

From what I've observed, however, a lot of women on entertainment visas work in bars that are not even close to a base. Go to Texas Street across from Busan station, for example, and you'll see a lot more Korean customers than military in the bars there. Furthermore, if the US military suspects a bar is involved in prostitution then it will be placed on the off limits list. Military police go in bars on the off limits list sometimes and ask for the ID of anyone who looks military. If a soldier is caught in such a place he will be punished. So they do try to stop it from happening.

4~6 tricks a month per girl? How is a Korean pimp to survive? This seems to be a Korean law enforcement problem.
