Korean Job Discussion Forums

As someone looking for work in Korea, I have spent a great deal of time reading all of your posts and appreciate what I have read on here. What I would like to know is how men react to brunette North American women. Most discussions talked only of blond women, and I am curious.

I think the Korean guys generally expect a discount.

I wouldn't worry so much about it, unless your skin is also dark. And then yes, you casn still get a job here, though it may be a bit more difficult.

So now you know it's not just the hagwans that hire arbitrarily.

i don't think it puts you at any disadvantage as someone else said. never hindered me any. if anything, it's better because i hear the blonds get hassled a lot more.

Thank you ladies, that was the kind of information I was looking for. Your firsthand experience is of benefit to everyone.

It would seem, from the posts on here, that all blond women get mistaken for Russian whores. I was wondering if this extended to all North American women in general or just blonds. I'm sure the women understand that they would rather work in an environment when, even dressed conservatively, they are not mistaken for whores.
