For those of you who care, tvN’s current events program “Real Story: Myo” (tonight at 11:00pm) will be examining one of the most serious problems facing Korean society today — Korean women having sex with foreign men.
For those who read Korean, here’s the preview:
[어긋난 호기심 ‘외국인과의 하룻밤’]
외국인 이성에 대한 위험한 호기심과 열광…
그리고 단순 유흥이 아닌,
문란한 성문화가 양상되고 있는 충격적인 현장!
외국인 강사 성추행 파문에 블랙리스트까지 등장했다?!
과연 한국 여성을 쉽게 유혹하는 방법이란 무엇일까.
백색 피부와 파란 눈에 대한 선망뒤에 숨은 주한 외국인들의 추잡한 행태!
또한 외국 여성과의 하룻밤 쾌락에 기꺼이 돈을 지불하는
남성들의 왜곡된 성적 판타지!
외국인에 대한 어긋난 동경심을 악용한
불법업소의 성매매 실태를 고발한다!
You may thank me later.
PS: I have to confess, the 외국인에 대한 어긋난 동경심을 악용한 불법업소 part has me intrigued.

Well, a person has to have a good grasp on her curiosity, channel it in a correct way, is the message here. The show should be good for a few laughs. It should also provide a nice pool of material for barbs and counter-barbs. And it will undoubtedly be strong evidence of how low mass media can descend in order to stir up public sentiment.
Well, in fairness:
a) the show itself is quite trashy;
b) it did cover Korean guys plugging white (mostly Russian) hookers; and
c) the MC, Horan, is quite cute.
That being said, the show was quite amusing, even if I found the first half on dohwasal much more informative:

Anyway, you had the “foreign teacher threatening ex-gf with AIDS,” “stupid foreigners with their offensive Youtube video,” “stupid foreigners passed out on side of the street,” “drug-doing foreigners,” “foreigners seducing Korean women,” “Korean women seeking foreign men (mostly for learning English),” and the general corruption of Korea’s sexual morals brought about by such interactions. Much of the footage was shot in Hongdae, of course. Particularly amusing was video of foreign men and Korean women going into a motel together. For all they knew, it could have been me and my wife.
Ugh… besides the obvious xenophobic… (well, it’s certainly not subtle enough to be an undertone…) THEME, Horan from one of my favorite Korean band, Clazziquai, is the MC of the show… I know MCs don’t really have much input in the content of the show but still… very disheartening.
It’s waygook madness! Tell your children.
c’mon give us some translation!
The show’s MC is Horan from Clazziquai, huh? Innnnnnnteresting.
I have some video of her dancing braless (not topless mind you) at Pentaport 2006. Time to pay a visit to my video archives and get it ready for upload.
Ah, Clazziquai: they of the pro-drug use message in their music. Perhaps a habit they picked up during their days in BC. Canadian gyopos, Yuhaksaengdul and drugs - wonder if there’s a show in that?
Good music, BTW.
How many of these type of shows are they going to make???
I think if anything it probably makes more Korean chics want to hook up with us monsters!!
Agrees with McNut.
Tell a Korean girl there’s a trend, whether good or bad, and she’s going to want to be part of it.
Interesting how the blurb points out that Korean males have to pay for it.
@10
I assume that you mean with both russian AND korean girls?
Is there data on the male/female ratio in Korea? Because if there are more women than men they can designate a percentage as foreigner-accessible.
Then they can wear pins, or labels, or insanely short miniskirts, to designate their availability to foreign devils.

The above link should answer your question… (yeah, I know it’s Wikipedia, but I’m lazy to hunt up a real source)… There are more males than females in South Korea, and the numbers are going to get even more skewed before they have any chance of getting better.
It must be either election or scandal season, with all the anti-weigook-y-ness media attention.
I’m surprised Dok-do hasn’t been brought up lately… (It’s ours, btw!)
From the admittedly unscientific sampling of my in-laws over the Chusok holidays, these serial ‘They’re getting drunk! Trying to meet our girls! The horror!” shows aren’t making much of an impression. They jokingly asked me if some of my friends had stolen some Korean producers girlfriends away and thus caused them to make the shows in revenge, and scoffed at them all in general. My aunt-in-law complained she’d tuned in to one hoping for some real shocking stuff and ‘wasted an hour hearing about some foreigners being drunk and loud on the side-walk. Aigo! I hear men doing that every week on my way home.’ to general laughing.
There’s a lot more healthy skepticism among the Korean public of what their elites tell them on TV than we give them credit for.
Go to youtube and search for “yellow fever”.
A pretty funny video of two asian guys in search of the reason why Asian girls like white guys.
And they are pretty honest about the reasons.
But it’s all in good fun.
From the write up at the TV station -
“과연 한국 여성을 쉽게 유혹하는 방법이란 무엇일까”
Thanks to that show I learned how to lead Korean girls into temptation, and it got me laid tonight. Thanks, 리얼 스토리 猫! Now I have another ace up my sleeve in my dubious dealings with Korean women!
I’m just waiting for the Fox expose on kyopos.
I haven’t watched the program, but I have watched some of the past news programs regarding foreigners and Korean girls and what I have realized is that these shows don’t criticize the Korean girls for their behavior. Which is surprising considering that in some cases it is the Korean girls who intentionally go after the foreign guys to learn English and/or get laid.
Actually, this last program did criticize the girls (as well as the guys). And it goes without saying, of course, that every time one of these stories breaks, the comment section of Naver.com is full of nasty comments about Korean women. It’s an amusing irony, actually — many times, these stories will begin with “Foreigners degrade Korean women,” but the comments end up, in large part, degrading Korean women.
Is this site for Korean-speakers only? Can someone please translate this for me?
Ok, I’m going to tip my hand, expose myself, and come clean here on this blog, cuz this stuff just pisses me off so much.
You wanna talk about evil foreigners corrupting pure innocent Korean women? I’ll give you a true tale of innocence and corruption. Chew on this netizens!!
First, let the record show that I am a Western Man.
Before I came to Korea, I was a very conservative Christian from the Midwestern US. I had never drank, I had never smoked, and I was still saving myself for marriage. (And it’s not because I’m fat or ugly, either! A girlfriend had actually broken up with me over that choice before. I regret that now…)
Since I came to Korea four years ago, I have experienced Korean women. As I am sure many on this blog know, the Korean child-woman is a strange and fascinating creature.
I drink now. My first drink was with… a Korean woman. Rum and Coke is my drink of choice, although pure shots of Jack Daniels really get things goin ya know?
I smoke now. My first smoke was with… a Korean woman. (hookahs count right?)
I am a virgin-by-choice no longer. My first time was with… a Korean woman. When she sat on my bed, gave me The Look, and told me she didn’t want to go out into the cold, I finally chose differently.
Oh, I also don’t go to church any more. I’m too busy on the weekend… meeting Korean women.
So how about that eh? I spent the entire first year of my time in Korea single as well, NOT dating the strange child-women I met because they were too confusing. So in just 3 short years, Korean women have been the bane of every principle I once held.
But hey, don’t worry about me, I have different principles now. Ones like Don’t Date Your Coworkers No Matter How Hot or Constantly Nipply, One Girl One Gu, and Three Dates Per Weekend Maximum No Matter What. Also No Drinking On Work nights Ever Again.
Mateomiguel,
I fully believe that your description is correct.
But please also take care not to paint Korean women (who, by the way, are not all “child-women”) with too broad a brush. While there are females of the kind you are describing (and, indeed, MANY of them) and should better be avoided, also very, very, very different ones exist. My wife, as well as my previous Korean girl-friends were, without exception of the genuinely conservative kind, no kidding… And that’s what I chose and appreciated them for.
I am now 42 years of age, and I’ve visited Korea for the first time in 1981 when I was a mere 16, so I know I know what I am talking about, you can bet on it.
Well I’d like to, but I’ve never seen such a large group of people so eager to pick up the broad brush and paint themselves silly with it.
Since my career seems to be keeping me in the Korean peninsula (I’m not an English teacher either you crazy netizens!) I hope I can find one of those nice conservative girls you speak of. People say I need to become more fluent in Korean before I find them. Maybe that’s a lead.

I don’t agree with the debasing of Korean women by the Korean netizens. However, Korean women especially those who actively and intentionally seek out foreign men for their own, for a lack of a better term, purposes are part of the equation.
All in all, be it Korean women or foreign men, who they date and bang is their business. But knowing how some Koreans, especially those who are nationalistic and conservative, feel about Korean women dating foreign men, expect more of this crap in the near future.

You’ll be surprised on the conservatism of Korean girls. Just because a Korean girl dresses in the latest fashion or wears a really short skirt doesn’t mean that she is open and liberal about a lot of things. Yes things are changing, but, the Korean girls who can be considered as liberal especially when it comes to sex for instance, are for now, in the minority. And even the liberal ones do have a dose of conservatism in them.
