...some of these drink sessions will go on to different establishment which may be a little bit shady, perhaps some kind of entertainment there, which is mainly for men. That does exclude women...

That's an elegant way of saying it.

Love how they include Pyongyang Soju (1:44) in the rogues gallery

Serious mismatch between what the guy drones on about and the actual story stated in the caption. he spends most of the piece painting us a typical picture of hard drinking, senior Asian men in suits doing business deals and visiting room salons with clients, but the point is supposed to be about hoesik, which are very different and affect everyone at a company - women included.

The 1-1-9 rule (not mentioned in the video or caption but you can see it in the page title) is something like only have 1 drink, only go to one place, and leave by 9pm. I seem to remember this originally being a police / city / government campaign from last year.

Yeah, after round 1 you ditch the chicks and switch establishments. Round 3 is where all the fun happens. Wink
