 |
|
I am interested in knowing about the dancing girls in front of businesses when they are either opening or having some kind of sale. They seem to dance and announce things all day.
1. How old are these ladies?
2. Do they get paid well?
3. Is it difficult for them to dance and talk all day?
4. What are the chances of having one of them smile at me?
5. Do the companies they work for hire English teachers to teach the ladies some English phrases? If so, does anyone have that contact information?
Thank you |

Miidnight Runner has a podcast up on his site interviewing someone who worked as a 도움이.

"Some people say it's a low-class job," Park admits. "They look down on doumi. But we have a lot of college students who want to earn extra money. Some of these girls have to be fluent in English, for when a foreign business opens. Some of them have studied abroad. Some have master's degrees, Ph.Ds." |

Yeah, but these girls are mostly supplementing their income while studying in uni at the same time.
Of course, the visiblity that their employment garners gets them a foot in the door to other types of industries: modeling, events, etc. |

Thanks for the link! A very entertaining and informational article, and long as a doumi leg. Got me smiling from the opening lines, "Long of limb, short of skirt, white of shoe". Clearly the OP has found a mission. |

Haha... I remember a scene from a Korean drama, 안녕하세요 하늘님, where they showed why a woman from a poor background turned to a life of crime... There was a flashback to her former job, where she was dancing in front of the LG Mart or something, when some adjossi pinched her butt... she beat him up, and then quit that degrading gig to become a gangster's assistant 
Anyway, that's what springs to my mind when people talk about those dancers. I'm going to check out those links. |
