SEOUL (AFP) - South Korea's education ministry launched an inquiry on Wednesday after a TV programme showed youths entering a hotel massage parlour for sex during a school trip to China.
The ministry ordered school authorities nationwide to investigate all field trips to China.
"The alleged incident should not have happened," Ko Young-Kyu, a senior ministry supervisor, told AFP. "Local education offices have been asked to throughly investigate and report the results."
The MBC TV network in a programme late Tuesday showed South Korean teenagers venturing into a massage parlour in China. Some testifed it was common practice.

Damn foreigners.
edit: Uh . . . I didn't mean that foreigners were taking the kids on these trips . . . with all the hubbub about illegals and druggies, it's interesting to see what else is happening in school.

Saw that MBC show. High School students, some as young as 16 in western age, using prostitutes. Then their teachers doing the same thing. The hotel they stayed in had a prostitute in a room on every floor. It seemed obivous that the teachers were booking the hotel knowing the nature of the place and the neighborhood it was in. They had organized the school trip to the same place before.
Great role models for the boys, eh? |

| But, but... the foreigners... they smoke weed! They're the ones corrupting the students/teachers by proxy, practically forcing them to visit these brothels. |

| They could as well rename these to aids trip. I shudder at the vast knowledge a 16-year old korean must have about veneral diseases and safe sex practices. |

Especially since it was NOT reported in the Korean media. It came from a western news source.
Highlights in the KOREAN news today include:
� Presidential Secretaries Pressed to Resign
� Shin Jeong-ah's Life Full of Mystery
� Yonsama's Drama Hits TV Screens
� Hamburger Can Be Ordered Via Mobile Phone
� CPA Test Failures to Sue FSS
� Korea Edges Syria at Home
� Gasoline Prices Near W1,700 Per Liter
� Sony Unveils New PSP Game Console
� Roh Repeats Attack on Lee Myung-bak
� Choi Kyoung-ju Eyes Strong FedEx Cup Finish
certainly much more inportant AND interesting than a bunch of boys in a brothel.

Kimchi cures AIDS (and probably all other STDs as well).

I stayed in a Best Western in Beijing that had a whole floor dedicated to a big bar/brothel, so I wouldn't say this place was that special. |

Here's something from the Joongang Daily. I like this part:
| Quote: |
| A teacher at a high school in Pyeongtaek, Gyeonggi, which was mentioned during the television program, said, �I witnessed three students entering a massage parlor. When I asked how much they paid, the counter person said one student didn�t get any service and the other two paid 86 yuan ($11). If the students were to buy sex, they would have had to pay 900 yuan.� |

Hmm, that professor must have read about rub-and-tugs in Shandong in an article, or something.  |

I love this line from the article
| Quote: |
| The TV programme said teachers were either helpless or negligent in controlling the children. |
You can beat them with a stick for not doing their homework but are suddenly helpless to stop them some banging a possibly diseased prostitute who can ruin their lives far more than not doing homework....RIGHT.... |

I suspect that they do have an AIDS problem, but like their rape problem, domestic violence problem and suicide problem they hide it with explanations of death by fan, or some such crap. Korean men apparently do not use condoms with hookers in SE Asia. That said, HIV is quite difficult to get from heterosexual sex.
Here are the stats of risk of contracting HIV for various acts.
| Quote: |
#These estimates of risk of transmission from sexual exposure assume no condom use.
The risk for blood transfusion is approximately 9,000 per 10,000 exposures to blood contaminated with HIV.
*Refers to oral intercourse performed on a man.
This figure reproduced and modified from Smith DK, Grohskopf LA, Black RJ, et al. Antiretroviral postexposure prophylaxis after sexual, injection-drug use, or other nonoccupational exposure to HIV in the United States: recommendations from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. MMWR 2005;54(No. RR-2):1-20. |
http://depts.washington.edu/hivaids/post/case5/fig1d.html
So, the kinds of acts that Koreans get on with hookers will greatly determine the prevalence of HIV in Korea. |

The number of new HIV/AIDS cases in the country reached 376 in the first half of 2007, off 5.5 percent from the same period of 2006, the Korea Center for Disease Control and Prevention said on Friday.
The center said that 93.1 percent of the new infections were found among males. Infections among foreigners stood at 44. The first reported HIV/AIDS case in the country was in 1985.
As of June 30, 4,956 South Koreans had contracted the disease, of which 905 died.
The new HIV/AIDS cases resulted mainly from unsafe sex, a spokesman of the center said.
In 2005, the rate of condom use stood at 23 percent, far lower than 40-60 percent for other countries, he said.
``We are making efforts to raise public awareness of the disease and promote the use of condoms through education to curb the spread of the deadly disease,�� said the spokesman.

Not as nightmarish as Southeast Asia or Africa, but in this day and age there's really no excuse for the spread of age among developed nations. |

Either 7% of women are incredibly busy or Korea has to face up to the reality that male homosexual sex is a very common behavior in Korea and begin targeting the gay community with public health information and $. |

| Never found any stats on sex tourism in southeast Asia, but I'd suspect that has something to do with the high percentage of males as well. I also wonder how many people are getting HIV tests here. I'd suspect the number is low. Eventually the infection will spread to the partners of the infected here in Korea, and there'll be a real crisis on their hands. |
