Banking on the Korean Wave, unemployed Korean prostitutes and even Korean college girls on vacation are heading to Taiwan, Hong Kong and Southeast Asia to ply their skills in the world’s oldest profession. A Taiwanese paper reported Monday that a 26-year-old Korean college girl by the name of Park was busted in a Taipei hotel for engaging in paid sex with a Taiwanese man (for 4,000 Taiwanese dollars, or about W130,000). According to the paper, the girl entered Taiwan on Dec. 28 on a tourist visa, and immediately started “work” through a local broker. Ms. Park will soon be deported back to Korea.
The Taiwanese paper also reported that local “brokers,” riding the Korean Wave that has swept over the country/renegade Chinese province, have recently focused on furnishing Korean girls. In particular, it quoted Taiwanese cops as saying that in the case of Korean college girls using their precious vacation time to earn a little cash, costumers needed to make reservations since the girls were only on the island for a short period of time.
And it’s not just foreign brokers doing the pimping. Brokers in Korea are also finding girls jobs in China and Southeast Asia. Last year, cops busted a gang in Ulsan and Busan for sending about 100 college girls to Hong Kong, Taiwan and other “Korean Wave” locales. Each girl paid a commission between W200,000 and W800,000 and a fixed portion of their proceeds.
One foreign affairs cop said, “With the special law on prostitution going into effect in Korea, prostitution brokers are looking overseas. With Korean girls growing in popularity due to the Korean Wave, more and more prostitutes are heading to not only Japan, but also China and Southeast Asia.” He added, “Because the girls can earn twice as much money if they look like a Korean Wave star, we are hearing information that girls are getting plastic surgery before they go.”
Another police official said, “Korean prostitution is increasing in places in China. We got word that 600 Korean girls went over to Qingdao, where many Southeast Asian tourists go to play golf, in order to work in the entertainment establishments there… Because most of them use tourist visas, there is virtually nothing we can do to stop them.”
A police women and youth affairs officer said, “If someone gets deported after engaging in prostitution overseas, he or she is punished according to Korean law when they return… People should bear in mind that women going overseas to engage in prostitution and men engaging in sex tourism are punishable under the special law on prostitution.”
Of course, if you’re a young, unemployed male with even a passing resemblance to Bae Yong-joon, I’d have to image the bored Japanese housewife market is a veritable gold mine if you’re ambitious.

What’s really sick is that I saw that story today and thought of the Marmot.
That’s kind of funny, Pete. I saw the story today and thought of me, too.
What in the heck is “Korean Wave?”
Korean Wave–an oscillation that travels through a nation by transferring sex, music, cinema, drama, etc. from Korean culture to the nation without causing any permanent displacement in the soul of that nation.
While my commentary is sometimes biting, and at other times just bites, I will remove my tongue from my cheek to honor what makes our country truly great. Perhaps paramount among these blessings is women who can be had for the right price.
After years of attempting to promote the beauty of Korea, it seems the PR geniouses finally got it right. And I thought it would be hard to beat “Hi Seoul!”
How can you improve on this? It is, after all the original Korean wave. The recent adulation for our of effeminite male entertainers by middle-aged Japanese women, who are, as we know, closet lesbians, was just a blip.
Mark, you are a droll, bad man. Hehehe.
“The recent adulation for our of effeminite male entertainers by middle-aged Japanese women,”
Most of the women are actually Korean residents or Korean-Japanese.
The Korean community first wanted young K-J girls to stir up this wave, but young people are not interested in community activity-conspiracy-anymore.
Therefore the wave turned to be wacky middle-aged women thing.
Currently, speaking badly about Korean stars are tabu on Japanese TV.
Japanese comedian Hata Yoku who made fun of Bae Yong Joon has been threatened by Koreans.
I can’t go out for a drink after midnight and some Taiwanese guy is gettin laid by agasi. Second biggest crock of shit in the history of shitcrocks.
Howdy, FYI this Korean Wave has recently hit the placid shores of Australia. Lots of (quite decent) Korean ladies of the night have turned up in Sydney-town of late. Catching waves has never been more fun…
