My wife says this is all over the news.

Apparently some foreigners in Korea videotaped themselves on the subway for some reason, talking about how they wanted to have sex with certain girls around them and laughing at how nobody understood what they were saying.

Anyone hear about this? I'm amused to see the video of these morons crucifying themselves.

[Jizzo T. Clown]

I've translated this article and the video is included too.

술에 취한 외국인 남성들이 지하철 전동차 안에서 집단 난동을 부리면서 한국 여성들을 비하하는 장면이 담긴 동영상이 인터넷에서 급속히 유포되면서 네티즌들의 비난을 사고 있습니다.

A video scene which shows drunken foreigners on a subway train acting wildly and making disparaging remarks about Korean women has been rapidly circulated on the internet and is inccuring criticism from netizens.

지난 5월 말, 해외 유명 UCC 사이트에 올라온 동영상들을 보면, 6명의 외국인들이 서울 강남의 한 호프집과 길거리 그리고 지하철 4호선을 옮겨다니며 찍은 화면이 공개돼 있습니다.

If one looks at the videos that have been put up on the famous UCC website at the end of May, one of them that was made public shows 6 foreigners moving from a bar in Gangnam, to the street, and taking the subway on line number 4.

이 동영상에는 지하철 4호선 안의 다른 승객들 안에서 팝송을 개사해 한국 여성들을 성적인 노리개감으로 비하하는 노래를 부르는 장면이 나와 있고, 호프집 여종업원을 성추행하는 장면도 올라와 있습니다.


In this video on a line 4 subway train with other passengers there is a scene which shows a sexually suggestive song deriding Korean women as playthings. In the bar scene it shows sexually abusive conduct to an employee as well.

또, 길거리에서 술에 취해 행인들을 상대로 행패를 부리는 장면도 있습니다.

There is also a scene in the street which shows the drunken foreigners being abusive to passerbys.


문제의 동영상들이 최근 국내 포털사이트 등에 옮겨지면서 네티즌들의 비난 여론도 높아지고 있습니다.

As the problematic videos are getting shown on domestic portal sites the nezens' criticism is growing.

I thought Koreans like to see foreigners make jackasses of themselves.

In the same vein, many a foreign man would find the constant imaging of FOREIGN WOMEN in the Korean media a bit disparaging as well.

I disagree with one thing, however: Korean media definitely does not focus on the details of Koreans acting like idiots abroad. Sometimes it is dealt with in a very abstract way but specifics, like this example of the foreigners, do not, from my perspective, make national headlines.

Man, why does it have to be the #4 line? Please tell me it was on the Suwon/ Ansan end.

[uberscheisse]

d*ckless fools talking shit about women on the subway.

any reason why this is news?

i think it's news because nobody stepped up and popped one of these dong huffers in the face.

what a waste of cellulite.

lol
Why is this news?! I saw like 20 random drunk Korean guys talking shit on the subway so far this year

[doggyji]

Is it newsworthy? Maybe as much as Hyoree's underwear exposure and Ugly Korean stories on Korean tv. When something's hot among netizens, it is usually mentioned on 24 hour cable news or internet news sites at least. No Mika Brzezinski yet on Korean news channels as far as I know.

So what the hell were those idiots thinking even taking a video and putting it on youtube for everybody to see it? Very disturbing. If they really want to achieve something, they might as well do the same thing on Russian subways.

Someone, quick, get a video camera and head to Bangkok or Angeles City and record drunk Korean doing the same thing... Then send it to the Netizens.

[mateomiguel]

Why go so far away when you can see the exact same thing done by Korean to Koreans in Korea every night?
