Kind of disgusting if true. |

A LOT of washed up and B-list singers, actresses and "talent" end up working the upscale ($5,000 - $10,000) room salon circuit in Seoul.
It's also where A LOT of these girls get their start. There are some pretty powerful people going in and out of these places on a daily basis. |

I'm not doubting you, but how do you know that to be true? |

This sort of thing happens in the West too.
Of course a pretty young thing who wants to be a star will be used by powerful men. |

It's called the casting couch.
It makes me consider being a show biz exec and/or taking a career in politics |

We all know that.....I'm just sick and tired of the "well this also happens America or the West" argument every time something critical is said about Korea. |

Oh, I didn't mean to do that. Why do uptight?
And I don't think many people are aware of it also happening in the West. It's less open there. |

| When I lived in Seoul back in the late 1970s, there was a story circulating about a Miss Korea getting dethroned because it turned out she was married. Scandals sure do change with the times! |

All this fuss over a runner-up????
Let's pardon all the white collar criminals and a ton of blue collar felons but darn it, I want that $5000 she won as runner-up along with the cubic ziconia crown and that cool silver and shiny sash. She disgraced all the Korean runner-ups before her.
Thanks for another funny Korean story. |
