Korean Job Discussion Forums

[Gwangjuboy]

I read this article and felt like throwing up. This was like a Pyongyang special on the virtues of Juche except this one is about Korea and Korean guys. Two western women were the interviewees. Somehow I can't imagine two western guys talking about how great the Korean woman's rearend is etc making a naver article.


루베이다는 �캐나다에서 영어 강사로 한국 학생을 가르치면서 한국인의 매력에 흠뻑 빠져 충동적으로 비행기에 몸을 실었다�고 했다.

Ruby said, �As I taught Korean students in Canada I completely fell into Korea�s charm so I instinctively got on a plane.

한국 남자와 깊은 사랑에 빠졌었다는 것이 이들의 공통점.

These two both share something in common; they both fell deeply in love with Korean men.

�한국에 온 직후, 한국 남자와 결혼 직전까지 갔었죠. 그런데 그 사람 어머니가 너무 심하게 반대했어요. 장남이라서 외국 여자는 안 된다는 거였는데, 힘들었지만 어머님 입장도 이해가 되더라고요.�(루베이다). 에바는 �중국에서 한국 남자친구를 2년쯤 사귀었는데 그때 한국에 대한 좋은 이미지를 갖게 됐다�고 했다.

�After I came to Korea I went I was on the verge of marrying a Korean guy. However, his mother strongly opposed marriage. He is the oldest son so she said he couldn�t marry a foreign woman. It was very difficult but I did understand the mother�s position.� (Ruby) Eve said, �I was with a Korean guy for about 2 years in China and I had a good impression of Korea.�

그들이 꼽는 한국 남자의 매력은 책임감. 에바는 �한국 남자들이 군대를 다녀오기 때문에 �터프�해지고 책임감도 생기는 것 아니냐?�고 했다. 두 사람은 꼭 한국 남자와 결혼해, 한국에서 살겠다는 생각이다. 루베이다는 �어머니가 벌써부터 한국 남자와 결혼해서 애기를 낳으면 정말 예쁠 것이라며 흥분하고 계신다�고 했다. 하지만 루베이다는 한국 남자가 불쌍한 순간을 묻자, �저한테 팔씨름에서 질 때�라며 울상을 지었다. 날씬해 보였던 팔뚝, 다시 보니 근육이 대단했다

They count the Korean man�s sense of responsibility as the most attractive thing. Eva, �Korean men do military service so they become very responsible, don�t they?� Both will definitely marry Korean men and live in Korea. Ruby �My mother has already commented excitedly that since I am marrying a Korean man if we have a child it will be really beautiful. But as soon as we asked Ruby about a Korean man�s most pitiful moment she says �when he loses to me in an arm wrestle he pulls a face like he is going to cry. His arms looked thin but after I looked again his muscles were great.�

안재욱씨 인터넷에서 봤는데 너무 너무 잘 생겼다�며 �그런 남자라면 저도 스캔들 주인공 되고 싶다�고 했다.

I saw Ahn Jae Wook on the internet and he was really really handsome. I really want to be involved in a scandal with a guy like that.

I translated it but I did it quickly so there is the potential for small mistakes.

some dude made this comment at the bottom of the page: 에바는 담배도 핀다

This kinda reminds me of that "Beautiful women" show they have on TV here. About 20 foreign chiquitas going on about how great Korea and Korean men are.

Could you ever imagine Korean broadcasters doing a show with 20 or so foreign men doing the same thing.

But what can you do except laugh and remind yourself "hey, it's korea. so many people so full of insecurity and ignorance, let them play their little games and boost their sad little egos"

above poster quoted the post about the show.


They want to be famous and make money. There is an idiotic t.v show that shows only foreign women in Korea. It is the most kiss-butt crap I have ever watched. Questions that only show how wonderful and excellent Korea and Korean men are... there are two Canadian girls on the show. They must be the most pathetic part of the show. They look like they would crawl on broken glass covered in human dung to get a chun won...I mean it. They couldn't make me more embarrassed.

--and yes..I am Canadian.

You know, now that I think of it, these girls are like a hot girl version of Yankov Smirnoff... except without jokes. Nothing like importing a syncophantic foreigner to build up the ol' national ego.
