The Dong-A Ilbo’s Internet TV unit visits the Apgujeong-dong training ground of Hooters, where Korea’s future Hooters Girls are learning the ropes from experienced American professionals ahead of the Jan. 18 opening of the country’s first Hooters branch.

Hoegwon.
Yea, that pretty much settles it. The Apple iPhone will not sell well in Korea, not with web developers going out of their way to make sure you can’t view their websites on a Mac…
All I wanted was to watch the video
Darin, Korea has had a tremendous problem with bad sites that can only work with windows/IE, which is such a dangerous combination that is unsecured to the extreme. That is why I refuse to do any banking by computer here. For all the PR talk about Korea’s IT savvy, it is pretty backwards.
Also, I was by the Hooters last week and saw all those Hooterettes, inside, undergoing orientation. They did not have big “hooters” but they were pretty enough.
That was funny seeing the one trainer flapping her wings to teach the trainees “chicken.”

Free entrepreneurial tip: Open a Korean language school with women teachers wearing these uniforms. *whistle*

It worked just fine on my Mac.
My favorite part was when the reporter said, “하지만 미국에서는 속어로 ‘여성의 큰 가슴’을 의미합니다” as the camera zoomed in on one Korea trainee’s small bosoms that could barely fill a training bra. In fairness to my Korean sistahs, some American Hooters waitresses, judging by photographs I’ve seen, have gotten a little help from a surgeon.
Sonagi,
Just wait a few more years. Nearly all Korean girls will get breast implants.
Do you know more than 50% of Korean women have gotten a nose job? They get it while they are in high school.
Soon, they will do a package deal, “nose + breast”.
And, I encourage them. I want Korean girls to look like Hollywood actresses. High nose, big boobs and long legs. Two out of three ain’t bad.
You might be shit out of luck, Baduk—the 고전적 미인 is making a comeback:
It’s moon-faces and small boobs from here on out.

Dunno about that. Korean/Asian women haven’t even discovered shaving their pubics yet.

If Gates has a Hooters VIP card, it must be good Microsoft customer!
I know that a lot of the girls have implants, but their boobs are up to their necks. Either Hooters uniforms include bras with superlift capacity or the girls get taped up when they come to work. I want to know what kind of bras those gals wear.
That was pretty funny. Whats the deal with Hooters Plaza on Jeju? A rip of the name or the real deal?

On your best day, with a fresh haircut, new shoes, and with a good tail-wind, at best you’re still just an idiot.
Like I mentioned in an earlier post, children’s birthday parties are soon to follow.

First of all, I laughed at the article, because it said the trend is towards a more natural look, and then reccomended surgery to get there. Wake up idiotic teenage girls! A natural look is what you look like before surgery. Getting surgery to get a ‘natural look’ is getting surgery to get a natural looking artificial look. But the whole trend is fine with me, I don’t like the Korean big eye look. I like the cute slanted eyes.
“[…] video, but MY link is more Korean “non-speaker” friendly…and more revealing. Permalink […] ”
This is one thing I have never understood. What is the attraction of having a shaved pubic area? The shaved beaver never struck me as attractive, just slutty.

But the extreme is not desirable either! When it looks like Don King is standing on his hands…….
How did we get to a discussion of shaved beavers?

LMFAO, this is the comment of the year!
Nothin’ better than a little “landing strip,” if the little shaver is hairless, could be illegal too.
Michael,
A little soul patch at the “Y”?
What will this mean for the Hooters knock-off just up the street from the Westin Chosun?
Time to get back in the field for more research, boyo, unless you want to take my word for it.
Let’s not be wielded by the media which is wielded by the company wielded by the capitalists. Instead of this gibber, how about analyzing the company?
This process of Hooters landing into Korea is similar to that of TGI Friday’s.

Here’s my post related to the family company, Asian Star Ltd., which runs TGI Friday’s. The post is in Korean. Dogbertt is good at Korean, and he’ll tell you a gist if some of you are interested.
Hooters cannot have special trade secret or trade good(?). There’s only both a well oiled or well treated yellow journalism and a sensationalism, thus appeal to the masses and everyone’s gossip. Finally there’s a heap of money.
I wanna know the legal entity and shareholders of Hooters.
I’m inspired by Almond Tease’s comment, and have changed my nickname.
The family sold out to Lotte years ago.
What’s your point?
