The teenage sex trade is flourishing online, reports the Ministry of Health, Welfare and Family Affairs, and much of it involves same-sex arrangements:
A large portion of the trade involves same-sex partners, a phenomenon which seems to be increasing at a fast pace.
The ministry’s Central Inspection Bureau (CIB) enforced a crackdown on online teenage sex trade between April and June in which they caught 36 teenagers involved in more than 242 incidents. Alongside, 17 adult males and one broker were caught. The team saw to it that the minors were taken to shelters or to their homes.
Twelve of the 36 were males who had sex with another male in exchange for money or a “gift.”
Among those caught were a 16-year-old who performed “indecent acts” on a 45-year-old punter in his car three times for a pack of cigarettes. Lovely.
Park Eun-jung, a general director at the ministries Central Inspection Bureau, notes that while girls are more likely to have sex for money, the boys are doing it out of curiosity. She also took pains to explain that just because you like to have sex with young boys doesn’t make you gay:
She added that the cases do not necessarily mean that the persons involved were homosexual. “Many offenders were married and had families. The only difference we could trace was that they were relatively old but had a sexual appetite they could not control,” she said.
I’ll let you ponder that for a while.

I think it makes you a pedophile.
Oh yeah, homosexuals never repress their sexuality in order to avoid public persecution and in order to have a family….
I think it makes you a homosexual pedophile if you are having sex with minors of the same gender.
If the Johns were simply trying to “satisfy” their lack of marital sex, they have plenty of opportunity to hire older, opposite-sex “professionals”.
If they were attempting to satisfy their homosexual desires, they might find it more difficult to find older same-sex partners, I am not that aware of the situation in Korea, but it doesn’t excuse having sex with minors.
What is the age of consent in Korea anyway ?
Yes it makes you a homosexual pedophile and deserves jail!
Well, that’s reassuring to hear. God forbid that there would be gays in Korea (I’m being totally sarcastic).
I bet the statement you are quoting was made in response to a question asked by a so-called ‘reporter’.
Married with a family but you have $ex with young boys… doesn’t make you a h0mo$exual paed0phile, it makes you a bi$exual ped0phile.
What about the guy in the article who “sold” three sex acts with a guy for a pack of cigarettes? Sorry, but that isn’t prostitution… that’s volunteer work.
does hanging out in airport restrooms sporting a wide-stance make one gay?
Kujo: of course not. If you’re married or feel dirty afterward, or close your eyes, or call the guy a woman’s name while he’s blowing you, it isn’t gay at all. And it’s not even cheating on your wife, because it’s not sex, right?

This is a direct result of Korean fashion trends–if the men didn’t wear scarves, pink shirts, earrings, and carry manbags, none of this would happen.
Er um to quote an old adage “I’m not gay who s@cked whose C*ck?”

Lol.
Korean men are carrying manbags, too? NOOOO! Korean men should not be taking fashion tips from Chinese men.
Europeans started the manbag fashion but Korean men have refined it: they just carry their girlfriends’ purses
No it’s worse Michael! They have their own purses. Bloody poofters!

Hilarious. I SO know how that poor fella feels. Hopefully we can meet one day in the health club showers and lament our plight together. Should provide some catharsis.
Let’s not forget make-up.
I have been regaled by people with ties in the Korean entertainment industries about how little “gaydar” Koreans generally have. Actors who are gay to the point of flamboyant are still swooned over by females and emulated by males – this includes Lee Jun Ki (Gonggil of “The King’s Man” who is described in wikipedia as the “effeminate clown” who immediately became the hearthrob of Korean teens. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/T....._the_Clown
A comedian said that the ideal man, who is both masculine and sensitive, does in fact exist. But he has a boyfriend.
My Korean friends all tell me there are no gays in Korea.

Our CEO used to carry a manbag. From this year however, he switched to a leather laptop carrying case.
I guess he realized that the manbag made him look like a closet homosexual.

Not in Iran, either.

Apparently he hasn’t heard of Hong Seok-choen.
“Apparently he hasn’t heard of Hong Seok-choen.”
Hong is a good man and, while the first Korean man to come out, he is not the least bit effeminite. He is a mature, hardworking and well-informed fellow. Gay or straight, if there were more like him, this would be a proud nation.

I interviewed Hong Seok-cheon once, and while he was certainly a nice bloke, he was, indisputably, as camp as Christmas.
Me too — I’m wondering what makes Mizar5 declare Hong Seok-Chun to be “not the least bit effeminate”. I was an observer during the time when he was “fired from showbusiness” and the joke was that there could have been a shred of doubt that Hong was a flamer. Not that there’s anything wrong with that!
He does seem to be a good man.
‘She also took pains to explain that just because you like to have sex with young boys doesn’t make you gay.’
That’s what the inmates always say at Riker’s Island.
No matter what you imagine during the act, if you let another man gobble your knob, yer gay.

He’s the first Korean celebrity to come out, not the first Korean to do so.
He was most certainly very flamboyant on his TV show 포포포. He was kind of like a Korean Pewee Herman.
Hong Seok Cheon? Tony? He is, um, a shrewd business man. With a very limp wrist.
