Apparently, it's a video about foreign sexual predators who target Korean women. It looks like there is a lot of heated debate in the comments section. |

I think TV shows like this are a contributing factor to why so many job ads (for teaching positions of all ages, university jobs included) say "female only":

That's from a show that used to be popular a few years ago. It was kind of like Jerry Springer. They'd reenact some bad things people did and then those people would confront each other on TV. That episode was called "Foreign teachers and club girls." At the end you can see a Korean girl confronting one of the teachers that raped her and the teacher who cheated on her. |

I bet you wont be able to find any videos warning Korean men about the danger of white women.
When it comes to guys, women should be cautious irrespective of race or nationality. Also how many different nationalities does 'white guy' cover, they could range from Kenyan to Ecuadorian.
Does anyone have a link to the reaction by the rest of the audience? I was watching the other videos and Sam Hammington did a good job, I would like to see his response. |

He does talk a little bit about it in his latest podcast. Go to about 17:45 in episode 15.

I was chatting on a social media site recently with a friend from my hometown who, along with his wife, had adopted two Korean orphans years ago. He was telling me about how he had taken his daughters to Korea last fall so they could see the country where they were born, and people were looking worried over a white guy hanging out with two teenage Korean girls even though he's the only dad they've ever known.
He's probably an amazing father, but people looked at him like he's some sort of perverted, dirty man, and it's probably because of the racist propaganda on TV here. |

lol well you do have to admit it would look kind of strange seeing some old dude walking around with a couple young Korean females. I'm sure adoption probably didn't cross their minds, nor would mine if I saw them.
You can't really blame Koreans in this case for not knowing a strangers life story and how it came about that they are walking together. I'm sure they got strange looks in their home country, too. They can only go by what they see on the outside (in this situation).
I got the same kind of stares when I was 26 dating a 40 year old. People couldn't tell if I was her son or if we were dating. It was funny. |

 I understand where you're coming from, but I maintain that he could've been given the benefit of the doubt. Young female Korean cult members are always chatting me up in public and even come to my door, even at late hours, to convince me to join their cults. It seems like that should've been guess #1 for anyone sticking their nose into his personal business. |

That, or we'd hire him to write an advice column for LA Weekly. JT Tran is American, but I think the point still holds since this seems to be about race. |

How about Korean women who only use foreigners for their English and money? lol.
How about Korean dudes who pray on white women?
Ive had 3 friends marry Korean women only for them to get divorced 2 years later and the girl takes the child and dissappears?
Should we make videos on that? lol
I wonder how much that foreigner got paid to do that little skit? |

I'm wondering if that foreigner is one of the Eastern Europeans who get paid to portray Western Europeans/North Americans in a bad light. |

That is true, but it can be frustrating that many older Koreans tend to hold very limited and negative preconceptions of outsiders.

Lets be honest, most foreign guys are in fact predators out to get into the pants of K-women.
That does not make them any different from K-men, however.
The difference is that westerners are more openly promiscuous and "liberated" than Koreans, which is what gives these kind of shows ammunition. |

There's not a country on Earth, except for places that would kill you like Afghanistan and Iraq, that foreign men would not try to get in the locals pants. There's nothing unique or special about K-women. Foreigners don't "target" these women, they target WOMEN in general. They do what they would do in their home countries and probably in Zimbabwe, Papua New Guinea, or Iceland if they were there, too.
You think Korean guys won't try to go to the local pub in England or bar in America looking to score with an easy white girl? Of course he would, but no one would send cameras after him filming it all or make mockumentaries about it. |

Wow. Thanks for posting. That was an intense show. I think the police should have gotten involved afterwards regarding the rape allegations. |
