Stumbled across this on YouTube. I guess the Japanese could only put up with so much anti-Japanese propaganda from Koreans before someone posted somehing like this.

About the women with bare boobz...
My uncle was here during the Korean war. We're talking around 1950. He SAW the bare-breasted women walking around, and has that image burned into his mind as something he will never forget.
Koreans will tell you it was something that happened well over 100 years ago, and I assumed that was true, until I was at a family reunion back home while on vacation, and my uncle launched into some hilarious wartime stories from his time in South Korea. Every Korean I've ever mentioned this to has denied that women were still bare-chested in Korea until the Korean war, but according to my uncle, it was a common site when he was here.
He also has a great story about how they hired several young Koreans to help wash dishes and serve food to the US troops. Dozens of soldiers started becoming very ill with stomach aches and the poops. It was a widespread problem until an inquiry was made into food handling procedures. That's when they learned that the dishes were being taken to the Han river and hand-washed about 50 meters down stream from where people were lining-up to crap! You can about imagine the horror as news of THAT spread through the camp!
Not to knock too much on Koreans, though. They've come a long way in a very short time, despite being held-back by themselves. |

They can; in Japanese. English language ability isn't a benchmark for culture; sanitation and technology are.
Koreans have been asking for this for some time now. They are quick enough to put other peoples cultures down. "The Chinese are very dirty." I've heard many times, they should develop a sense of smell regarding their own sewerage systems. I do have a lot of time for Koreans, I really do but, they're very xenophobic in general. The truth is that most of their 'culture' Japan gave to them and they renamed it and altered the history books a 'little'. |

Hear, hear!
Something I've not yet heard anyone else comment on:
The woman's hanbok looks VERY strange when worn as it is today, with super-short top, and a bottom (dress) which is pulled up all the way to the armpits.
Once you've learned that the top originally rode ABOVE the mammaries, while the bottom part was pulled up to just below them, the whole thing suddenly makes sense.
This country would be so vastly improved by the sight of bare-breasted women on its streets that words couldn't begin to do it justice. Heck, even Nana Plaza has been mostly covered-up of late!
If only . . . ! |

Topless ain't bad, but it is bad to lie about no such thing having ever happened--or if it did, that it happened 100 years ago.
I find those photos hilarious. I'll never look at a Hanbok the same way again. I think the present-day sub-zero January mini-skirt wearing chicks must be a residual of that. |

I�m not sure about the tactfulness of some of the links but I don�t think there was much wrong with the one I posted.
I�m not bitter about Korea. From my posts you will be able to see that I spend more time defending the place than not. However, I think it is interesting to see the response other nations make to the Korean claims that, for example, Confucius was Korean and that Koreans invented the Chinese writing system. |

Was that the style of dress, or just something breast-feeding mothers wore? I forget which century, but I know European courtesans had similar peek-a-boo dresses they'd wear out in public. |

It was considered ok for NURSING mothers to wear an altered hanbok in public that showed their bare breasts.
The Japanese took pictures to use for their advantage in propaganda. It's a lot easier to justify a colonial occupation to the minds of Europeans if those that you've colonized are "savages."
Don't believe this racist crap. |
