I'm sure the ajoshis from the KCSC will celebrate such an important decision by going to a room salon tonight after a round of drinks and then drunkenly stumble home to the wife and kids.

Did Koreans actually use it or is it just blocking foriegners with their own on Naver and Daum in Korean? Not necessarrily affair websites, but any hook up sites. Any good smart phone apps specific to Korea that are any good and can be used by waygooks?

Just read the article. At the bottom, what I assume is a Japanese person makes this comment.

"South Korea does not need Ashley Madison. They already have the Gaekcheop (객첩) custom in which wives and daughters are forced to sexually entertain important guests.

Commercial lodging facilities (i.e. hotels) were rare in Korea prior to Japan's annexation in 1910. When a high-ranking government official traveled to a country side, he usually stayed at a local yangban (a ruling class)'s house. There, the yangban was supposed to provide not only dinner and drinks, but also his wife, his concubine or his daughter for the night to please the official.

Gaekcheop was banned after 1910 when Japan brought civilization to Korea. "

I guess hitting the room salon after work doesnt count as infidelity?

A mythical story about general Lee SungGae, the founder of Choseun dynasty:

On his way to Gaesung (Koryo's captital city) to claim his throne, he stopped at a village. At that time China was taking young Koreans to China, 5000 boys and girls to be 'educated/slavery' each year. One way to avoid that was to be married or be a concubine. General Lee was already married but the host sent him his daughter anyway. Lee was tired/scared of his wife and so he persuaded her to leave him alone. In the morning he was told that the host had given his daughter a blade and told her to 'do the right thing', that which she did. She fell on the knife.

We can interprete this in two ways. One is sad because she was denied her life as a human being and didn't get to live and mate in a monogamous relationship. The other is happy because she died carrying out her duty. That Japanese poster might want to see abolition of Gaekcheup as a good thing and I tend to agree that Romanticism is a change for the better, but as alway is in politics, it's only a half truth. The other effect of the ban is 'dis-enfranchisement' of Koreans, i.e. Japanese were taking political power away from Koreans. Yes, it's colonization 101, another words: bringing civilization to the place.

I wonder how this blocking of sites is affecting the general populous?

It seems from what Ive heard, that a most people have found a way around it anyway (specifically Koreans).

[Rockhard]

It's called a VPN. Get one.

There is something cheaper and faster than a VPN? That's hard to imagine. I only pay $1.50/month with no noticeable change to my traffic.

[Porksta]

Would you really want to use this site, even with a VPN? The only way to meet people would be if they also used a VPN. Seems like it would greatly diminish the pool of people.

Generally, when Korean women want to have an affair with a foreigner, they will open a hagwon, hire a young stud, and then force him to sleep with her.
