I am now happy with the prostitution laws after this story pushes my mirth level past the needed quota.

Another side effect of the evils of the hagwon system. Down with the hagwon!

By the way, sleeping with 2 to 3 Johns a day, 960 a year to pay for education? Last time I checked tuition fees weren’t that much.

Rule number 1 of journalism: Prostitution must always be presented as something that women are forced into, either by evil men or by desperate financial circumstances.
3 Benicio74 February 11, 2008 at 10:06 am: Yes, tuition ain’t that expensive!
Alejandro is right.
I’m sure there was a Prada bag or 2 laying around her apartment!
4 Benicio74 February 11, 2008 at 10:09 am: However, the real Rule Number One in Korean journalism is:
-Always target an easy non-Korean scapegoat.
Number 2:
-Whipping up nationalistic frenzy sells, so keep it up!
5 user-81 February 11, 2008 at 12:26 pm: #4, English education isn’t the only subject Koreans spend inordinate amounts of money on.

Some of the kyopos here are too quick to head toward “I blame Japan” rhetoric, but their parallel is the hasty whinging of some English teachers’ cry that “they’re picking on us non-Korean English teachers again!”
6 Dram_man February 11, 2008 at 12:47 pm: I am suprised she did not set up the tutoring-for-sex deals I hear about on occasion.
7 Benicio74 February 11, 2008 at 12:50 pm: Anyway, curious as to how much she was charging!

If she charged 100,000 Won, that would end up being 96 million.

Quite a haul, but she spent a lot of time on her back for it!

If she was providing “short time” sessions, then she would have charged each of her male customers 60,000 KRW. However if she was providing “long time” sessions(highly unlikely, considering the alleged number of customers), then yeah it is possible that she could have charged up to 150,000 KRW.
9 Benicio74 February 11, 2008 at 3:39 pm: Depends on how hot she is and what kind of “service” she offered, I guess.
10 Benicio74 February 11, 2008 at 3:41 pm: How much does a “rusty trombone” go for these days?
11 Benicio74 February 11, 2008 at 3:42 pm: or a “hot Karl” Cleveland style?
12 Seth Gecko February 11, 2008 at 3:54 pm: #6 “I am suprised she did not set up the tutoring-for-sex deals I hear about on occasion.”

Yes, I’ve also “heard” about similar deals in my seven years here
13 captbbq February 11, 2008 at 6:12 pm: Well, no, tuition is “that” expensive, but considering her age I don’t think she could charge very much to begin with, so it all evens out….

I’m not sure, but an Angry Dragon costs 100 while a Dirty Sanchez is 180

p.s. I blame foreigners, with their huge…pockets
