| 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. |
Got any references? |
It happens all the time and if it hasn't happen to you then you just aren't that good-looking. |

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.  |
It is exactly what it is, a myth, and along with the gaekchup story, equivalent to when some Koreans say the Japanese women's kimono has a blanket attached to the back because rape was so prevalent and accepted the women started carrying blankets around with them.
Lee Sung Gye was never 'on his way to Gaesung to claim his throne'. He turned back his army at the China/Korea border, rushed to Gaesung, laid seize on Gaesung, ousted the king, and made the king's son a new king. I doubt he, leading a huge army to stage a coup, had the time to 'stop at a village and rest in a complete stranger's house and have a good time with the daughter'.
And no, Korea was not sending young boys and girls to China at that time. The time of sending 공녀 happened during the time of brutal and savagery Mongol Yuan dynasty, which was already replaced by Ming China. |

Then you should demand Korea to re-write history and apologize to you for not buying your half-truth. |
