This has been bandied about on waygook.org for a while now and it seems that some sensationalist site or two tacked on the "only" part of the description of each area. They're not the foreigner-"only" or Chinese-"only" or kids-"only" areas. They're places designated for exhibitions or activities for and by each group. What, are they going to ban parents from being with their kids?

Like some of the people in the comments said, "Why didn't they just name it the parasol free zone?" Why did it have to be called "foreigner friendly zone?"

Well, look at it the other way around: expat Koreans would love it if Western countries would give them their own specialized spaces.

It is kind of interesting to think about it that way.
