With nude Korean women, it’s best to do as we say, not as we do

by Robert Koehler on August 28, 2006

Now I see why Breaknews.com was so upset about an English teacher posting photos of nude Korean women on his website.

Apparently, they don’t want the competition (see here, too, and needless to say, NOT work safe).

Hey, at least the English teacher (and the major Korean dailies that also run their own adult websites) requires age verification.

Nude Filipinas are apparently OK, too, as long as the nipples are fuzzied out.

Oh, and while were here looking at Breaknewscom’s sleaze, I know a lot of you find Korean Playboy model Lee Pani a less than spectacular choice, but I still find her a remarkably beautiful young woman.

Marmot, posts like this one objectify the female form under the asymmetrical power relations of the male gaze. And so, thank you!

Ahh, but you see… The women in those pictures are frolicking around a beach, rather than a dingy barroom, so obviously, they’re not being exploited. There’s a big difference here.

Yes, as cm says, in Korea such things are discreet…surely that is the difference.

It wouldn’t be rampant racial-based hypocrisy, no sir.

The woman are shapelier as well. And that’s gotta count for something.

The hypocrisy runs wide and deep here–Korean media runs “exposes” of red light districts every few months and the police announce yet another crackdown, year after year. No one here is serious about the treatment of women.

Plus, the women really are women – not transsexuals. And that’s gotta count for something, too.

it is interesting how, despite all the smoking hot Korean women there are floating about, very few really great looking ones become models. must be a cultural thing of some sort that I don’t understand.

Jesus, you people have high standards. Those are some nice looking girls. OK, maybe you’ve seen nicer faces, but they have the bodies for the job.

shelton,
ex-model is not the type of woman the average rich korean family hopes will marry their son. so, if you’re a smoking hot korean woman and planning on marrying up, why would you risk it all by trying to work as a model.

winning miss korea and appearing in commercials for certain high- end products recieve a free pass.

i imagine another thing that keeps a lot of women out of modeling is that many people assume korean women who want into show business must sleep their way in while korean men need to buy their way in. ever wonder why all the sex tapes with korean stars involve their managers?

robert,
i agree. korea’s “first” playboy model is hot. i encourage people to go back and watch the playboy contest she won to see why she was chosen.

lee pani is decent, but hot she is not.

11 Max Watson August 28, 2006 at 6:14 pm

I’ve said it before, but you really should write “NOT work safe outside of Korea” as opposed to just plain “NOT work safe”, since after all I’ve been shown tons of Korean smut by Korean guys at their offices.

As for Lee Pani, she’s cute enough that I wouldn’t turn her away if she showed up to give me a “sports massage”… but that’s about it. She definitely has the “Room Salon look”.

12 Nomad August 28, 2006 at 6:54 pm

Lee Pani’s body is ok, I guess, but her face leaves a lot to be desired. Hot, she’s definitely not.

13 gbnhj August 28, 2006 at 7:20 pm

Nomad’s talkin’ sense here. C’mon – that last shot of Lee Pani makes her look like a fluffer in the latest Snoop Doggy Dogg epic.

Still, it’s nice to know that at least some of the folks at Breaknews are working hard to deliver crass photos, as the public demands. Now, why couldn’t 신연희기자 do that?

14 littlebrownasian August 28, 2006 at 7:21 pm

After seeing the pictures of them Korean nudes, I’ll still go for the Filipinas. =D

“Yes, as cm says, in Korea such things are discreet…surely that is the difference.”

Oh give it a rest. Grasping for last straws, it makes you look like a dork that you are.

Nothing jaw-droppingly attractive about the agassis on display at Breaknews.

Amen, brother. Juiciest girls around.

Pride in your nation’s womanhood is a good thing.

As for the rest of you guys, all I can say is that you’re a really tough crowd.

18 Nomad August 28, 2006 at 8:30 pm

Come on Robert, you have to admit that on any given day, you can see hordes of women in Seoul (or heck, even here in Songtan) that would put Lee Pani to shame. As a good friend of mine once said, “You can’t swing a dead cat in Seoul without hitting a babe.”

19 Robert Koehler August 28, 2006 at 8:37 pm

Well, I think she’s pretty fly. That my position, and I’m sticking to it.

20 hardyandtiny August 28, 2006 at 9:17 pm

These days I really like a non-protruding recessed chin that just falls off to the neck in profile. Ochiai Mari, the Japanese volleyball player, is a chinless beauty with a big sexy nose.

Hey, didn’t the Japanese seize a South Korean fishing boat today?

22 ghola August 28, 2006 at 11:19 pm

the body, i can understand.. but the face, you gotta be a special kind of man… like the days when friends would say

just don’t look at her face
put a bag over her head
put a pillow over her head
hold her face to the side’ and my favorite
just do her “doggy style”

it seems to me that the”hole” is turning towards the “trashy” topics more and more these days..

23 Ray August 28, 2006 at 11:24 pm

I’m with you. Decent face, and great body…no complaints here.

24 Ray August 28, 2006 at 11:26 pm

Yeah, and? Isn’t that what makes everyone return here?

Korean saying: “If I do it, a romance, but others do it a fornication.”

26 ashuri2 August 29, 2006 at 3:33 am

ack. those girls were all pretty horrible except for the filipinas. the playboy one is cute, but it kinda stops there.

27 ghola August 29, 2006 at 4:11 am

yeah.. duh huh huh

28 The_William_G August 29, 2006 at 10:10 am

Hooray for boobies!

29 littlebrownasian August 29, 2006 at 12:45 pm

Well, seems the tally goes like the Filipinas still have an edge.

Wait till you see Francine Prieto on her Seoul pics! =D

30 Robert Koehler August 29, 2006 at 1:13 pm

Littlebrownasian—I posted Francine Prieto’s Seoul photo shoot a long time ago. In fact, I believe it’s the #1-most hit post here at the Marmot’s Hole, and I still get a lot of Google hits from it.

And agreed, she’s a very attractive young lady. And gathering from the press reports at the time, she’s apparently a likable person as well.

Nice boobs. But please, someone, get them a sandwich. Their lunch money must have gone to the plastic surgeon.
