It should make an entertaining reality TV in Korea, call it "Foreigners Gone Wild". This “Hongdae” sounds like a bastion of foreign debauchery.

The rest of the people, including the GIs, Koreans, Korean Americans, were acting like typical teenagers excited about being able to enter bars because they are underaged. It was quite dull, actually.

Now you think you're living in Apartheid South Africa because the Koreans are beating up foreigners with no reason. I don't buy it. Sorry.

She had a double-whammy going against her, literally! A few months ago at Hongdae NB, I got drop-kicked, head bashed against a metal guardrail, thrown out the door like Jazz on <i>Fresh Prince of Bel-Air</i>, and then beat on the back of the head repeatedly with closed fists once I was down. Had I been sober, this world would probably have a couple fewer Koreans in it and I'd be in Cheonan prison. My crime? I just let my junk hang outside my fly on a dare from some drunk South African guys I was with. Relayer77,

A former employee of a consultancy where I worked at the time, a Canadian woman, was assaulted by a Korean man in Hongdae. He was blind drunk and blindsided her with full force while she stood waiting for a cab. He broke the bone around her eye and she required 2 surgeries to get fixed up. Somehow didn't make the news. THey busted the guy and he apologized and paid her money. THERE IS NO JUSTICE IN KOREA---US OUT OF KOREA--we are suckers for punishment in this country..
