Has anyone seen this? This is the first I've heard of it, but it doesn't surprise me that this kind of thing would be allowed in Korea. |
This is very sad.  |

| Haha, I watched the first 5 minutes. Was pretty hilarious. Would love to see someone translate it, though. I doubt anyone who matters would watch this type of trash television. The dude was obviously not a native English speaker. |

I don't think that making presenting the concept of rape in an entertainment context is funny.
I also don't think it is funny that foreigners are demonized in the video. The point is not that he was actually a foreigner or not. The point is he signified one. |

This is not the first time I've seen eastern europeans/ Russians on programmes like this. The previous time was someone supposedly being filmed in a police station saying he didn't touch a student.
I wonder if they actually understand the script and the full story being portrayed. Perhaps they were merely hoodwinked or misled into appearing on this "drama". The "boyfriend" looked pretty confounded.
As trash tv, it was reasonably true to form, but I liked the Korean version of "Cheaters" a lot more- especially the episode with the cuckolded husband whose wife was being done by the 70 year old shaman wearing deer antlers, all whilst being filmed through the window. |

| What I find ironic is that I've heard a number of cases of Korean students gang-raping people (it even happened to a woman in my rural school district) but not one real one of English teachers doing it. |

A country with such prolific prostitution, violence towards women and a long history of discriminatory laws and policies has no right to point fingers at imaginary foreign culprits.
Luckily this show is like Jerry Springer and not real. Hopefully most Koreans don't really believe it.

Prostitution in South Korea is an illegal industry. According to The Korea Women's development Institute, the sex trade in Korea was estimated to amount to 14 trillion won ($13 billion) in 2007, roughly 1.6 percent of the nation's gross domestic product.[1] The number of prostitutes dropped by 18 percent to 269,000 during the same period. The sex trade involved some 94 million transactions in 2007, down from 170 million in 2002. The amount of money traded for prostitution was over 14 trillion won, much less than 24 trillion won in 2002.[1]
In 2003, the Korean Institute of Criminology announced that 330,000, which takes 1 of 25 of Korean women over 20s in age may be engaged in sex industry. However, the Korean Feminist Association alleged that at least 800,000 Korean women would participate in the prostitution industry.[2] In addition, a similar report by the Institute noted that 20% of men in their 20s pay for sex at least four times a month,[3] with 358,000 visiting prostitutes daily.[4]
In December 2006, The Ministry for Gender Equality, in an attempt to address the issue of demand for prostitutes among, offered cash to companies whose male employees pledged not to pay for sex after office parties. The people responsible for this policy claimed that they want to put an end to a culture in which men get drunk at parties and go on to buy sex.[5]

Korea just got rid of the Hoju system last year where woman were not legally equal to men under law.
| Quote: |
| The Hoju system has been the grounds for countless unreasonable and gender discriminatory practices - subordinating the woman to her husband's family, making the children take their father's surname, prohibiting the woman from re-registering her children under her name if she divorces or remarries. |

Facts are facts, Foreign people in Korea are not as likely to do any of the above mentioned things as Koreans themselves. FYI, foreign people in Korea are not all American.
No comparison to any country, no matter how crappy, would change the irrational attitude of presenting foreigners in this way.
It's not right when its done to Native American people in Canada (who are not foreign but get treated worse in some respects than English teachers in Korea). It's not right when it's done to black Americans in the US.
Your comment is moot. Koreans have no right to point fingures at people who visit the country and do far less evil than Koreans themselves. If it were true and accurate, by all means they should protect themselves from waegookin...but it's not. |
