The whole foreigners raping a homeless chick seemed a bit pointless in this video.

If they really wanted this video to be more realistic, they should have had the homeless woman a homeless teenager. And she went crazy from all the school stress.

Well that was horrible. Korean music videos never fail to be over the top with mawkish heart tugging drama. How nice that they decided to mix it up with a little foreign action. *sigh* Why do I still get surprised with the crap that makes it into the mainstream media here?

Real Reality, I appreciate you bringing this to our attention, but next time rather than making me sit through 4 minutes of a horrible, horrible Korean love ballad just tell me that some white guys gangrape a homeless Korean lady in the music video and that I should feel outraged.

Speaking of her, that's gotta be the hottest homeless girl I've ever seen while wearing the worst clothes on a homeless person I've ever seen. I mean, jesus. Even the blind mentally handicapped guy who talks to the tree down the street from my building would never let his apperel get in such disrepair. I'm not offended that they depicted foreign men as rapists. I'm offended that they think we need to sink that low.

Oh, and Rolling Eyes

Who are those foreign wankers that agreed to do this video?

Completely unreal. White guys in Korea can get much better looking, clean and wealthy girls without all the violence.

Ok so it's a racist video. Am I personally offended? No.
If the video is widely seen in Korea and nobody or extremely few Korean people express disgust, by writing to some newspapers, or contacting the geniuses who create such stupidity, that would offend me.
How many of you out there have Korean friends and spouses? How many of them have ever bothered to write or call a media outlet to protest against racist material?
Remember the Korean University Professor who publishes racist comics, masquerading as social studies material, did he keep his job? You bet.
Why? Koreans were'nt offended by his racism.

Anti-foreigner sentiment is rising. This can not help.

I've seen this video. Are they both foreigner? I thought one was Koreanish.

Anyway, hilarious, hilarious video. Almost as funny as that video where this low level Korean ganster is charged with looking after this kidnapped girl, and they fall in love, but the boss gangster wraps her in dynamite and takes her downtown fo some reason, and the low-level dude goes after her to save her, but gets shot by the cops, and the girl lovingly embraces him while he dies and sets of the dynamite herself.

Almost as good as the narcoleptic guy who buys a motorcycle and then falls asleep while carrying his girlfriend and kills her, before heroically killing himself at the end.

*beep* I hate Korean music videos.

you cant compare foreigners in Korea with ethic minority groups in western countries.

We are being paid well to be here, ethnic minorities in our countries generally are not.

Well, theres plenty of bad guys in music videos, usually they are Korean. We've had foreign good guys too, such as Dennis Oh and Daniel Henney. This isn't really that big of a deal. I would like to see a non-Korean playing a main character in these videos, though. Waiting for someone decent to show up..

They are half Korean (and don't speak fluently). Half Koreans are often even less accepted amongst Korean culture.

Though there certainly are some western people in Korea who look like refugees.
