I saw this on Yahoo Korea. Maybe one of the more proficient Korean speakers out there can give us the details of the story.

Maybe one of the Korea Beat writers will chime in, translate it and post a link?

On Naver it says that 16 E2 visa holders were busted. My Korean is limited, but it says that one guy who was busted is from Canada, works in Kangnam and began working here in 2004.

all I'll say is, if you get caught, you were probably blabbing about it to too many people and/or not being very discreet.

they said one guy was toking up w/his gf at bars in hongdae and itaewon.

that's just plain stupid.

The official also added � sit down for this � that in most cases, these teachers easily seduce Korean women looking to learn English, and end up doing drugs together.

More all foreigners are bad sensationalist journalism. It would be great to see what would happen if the han gook militants got their way and every waygook left this dowdy, repressed, anally retentive country.
