naa didnt think so...
unless he is probably a kyopo and thinks he is black..

I have been clubbing in HOngdae every weekend for like 4 years.. give and take yeah..

and all the fights I have seen in clubs are by foreigners!
foreigners always being dragged out by the bouncers and then a rumble outside with the bouncers, which always ends up with the foreigner getting an arse kicking! "what did they think"??? they were gonna be able to beat 6 doormen??? and the korean door men dont mess around they will F U up!! as they do.. especially M2, NB, Stompers, Lime lite etc...

anyway I mean sure back home bouncers are fighting every night..
but I have never seen koreans fight with them?
WHY IS THAT??
its making me really think.. there are more and more LOSER foreigners getting off the planes everyday! and most of them deserve what they get! but those losers are making a bad name for us all!!
why fight in the club? becuase someone pushed you? becuase someone spilt your drink? word of advice.. if you are in a club and you are having an arguement with a korean.. YOU'VE LOST!!
most bars HATE foreigners they only want our money!!
mess with them and they will happily knock you the F#%K out!
as I have seen many times!
whats up with these hero for a day foreigners?

I haven't personally, but I'm sure it happens. One kyopo guy tried to start a fight with me and the group I was with once (this was in Bundang!), but we didn't swing and they actually allowed the guy to stay in the bar. He realized he was acting retarded and mellowed out, apologized a bunch, we were all good buds afterwards.

I also remember watching this one huge Korean dude basically picking on a bunch of smaller guys. He'd chase 'em around, pop 'em in the head, then laugh and another guy would talk crap and he'd repeat the process. Apparently some kind of gang stuff, since some suit-types came up later and asked us where the fight went off to.

Both incidents in innocent little Samsung Plaza.

I have had that many problems with gyopos since I have been in Korea. Once in a convenience store a gyopo just walked up to me (had never seen the guy before) and said "what the *beep* are you doing here?" He was desperate for a fight.

To which more than just a few of us would respond,

"You wanna beep-ing go right now?"

Whenever there was a fight at a club or festival when I lived in Germany, there was almost always an American G.I. involved.

It's not isolated to Korea.

I saw one large fight about one month ago in Hongdae. It was outside M2 and there was three smallish Korean guys, probably early 20's, who took a beating from about 7 bouncers.

These guys kept going back for more, but in the end they hit the ground and were nearly kicked to death. It was actually quite disturbing, coz there were was one policeman who was watching but didn't intervene.

what happens in korea or in the world if a Bouncer does almost kill someone by kicking their heads in?
can you go to the police or court? or would they just take the side of the bouncer and say ohh well you probably deserved it?
mean while that guy is in hospital with a fractured skull and needs 400 stitches...
so are bouncers given the right to half kill people becuase they are bouncers?
I mean a policeman isnt allowed to do it right? so why are bouncers allowed to do it?

A lot of bouncers are serious martial arts fanatics that train everyday. Thats how they get the top jobs at the best clubs with the most money! You must be nuts to take them on after a few beers...these guys love fighting, and they do that job for a reason.
Not sure about Korea...but in england some bouncers were former olympic/ other games competitors..making top coin in the best clubs working only a few nights a week.I used to share a house with one, he said there was a sort of bouncers league in N. England- if you got a rep as a fighter, people and gangs would come to fight you from other towns and cities, miles away, to see how hard you really are.
In N.Ireland, some of them were ex paramilitaries who found any reason for a scrap with the punters...and couldn't find any other jobs i guess.
So. Don't mess with these guys: they know what they're doing and mostly responsible, but "violence' is a big motivating part of their lives.

I spent some time working on a brain injury unit at a mental hospital back in Canada where I met a patient who had been beaten so bad by bouncers that he has permanent brain damage. The bouncers claimed self defence. To make a long story short, after many legal preceedings two of the three bouncers recieved jail time. I don't think it was very much though. Not as much as was deserved i fyou ask me.

I bounced for a while back in Canada. I hated it. The vast majority Steroid freaks looking to kick the shit out of the first drunk they can. I saw a co worker brutally beat a guy who deserved to be thrown out, but not messed up. I quit that night.

Never, never, fight with a bouncer in Northern Ireland. They will take you out.
