SBS reports that a 28-year-old Englishman, an English teacher at a Seoul elementary school, has been busted for using his cell phone to secretly shoot photos up the skirts of ladies going up and down the stairs at a subway station.
Or Exit 7 of Gangnam Station, Line 2, to be precise.
Police were apparently tipped off that there was a foreigner following around girls taking photos of them. They found some 100 photos on his cell phone, and two videos.

ahhh yes, so the conclusion is we should fire all foreign teachers and uses English teaching softwares that I am licenced to sell! please do!
haha anothe piece of shit english teacher white trash looser from who knows where lol. So many of them
Why does it matter what his nationality is?
But you’re right. “So many of them”. He just joins the long (recent) line of piece of shit TEACHERS in the news. It has nothing to do with being an English teacher or white trash. It has to do with being simply trash.
At least with this guy, Korea can just boot him out. Korean trash teachers are rarely punished, although thankfully that is SLOWLY changing these past few months.
Erm, I wasn’t thankful the changes are going slowly. I was thankful the changes are coming, but it’s too bad they’re coming slowly.
He should have gone to the other side of the street to exit 6, not 7. That’s where the girls go to party and club, so he might have been able to get shots of some shorter skirts. Exit 7 side is more for coffee and dinner.
Just saying.
Hannara – who said he was white?
Coming from someone who has managed to come up with seven grammatical errors in two quasi-sentences, that’s some call.
What a loser! Can you imagine the shame this idiot must be feeling as he goes through the process of deportation? I hope he has to call his family for money and explain to them what happened.
100+ pics and two videos.
This guy has been doing it for a while – probably since the beginning of summer. Its amazing what hot weather and short skirts do to some men.
I think they should pay a visit to his apartment and check what is on his computer also, just to see who else he has been taking photos of.
@Hannara And judging from your post I can tell your much more sophisticated than he is.
Anyways, I’m pretty sure there are plenty of people taking pictures of girls now that it’s summer, with plenty of them getting caught. Sad to see how the limelight is only on “The English Teacher”.
So you can’t take pics of what’s there for everyone to see.
Okay, taking up-skirts is a “bit” too much even in my books.
But how are his pics any different than all those up-skirt/sideboob shots of celebrities and other young women that can be seen in Korean papers and Internet sites, except that they were taken by a respectable photo journalist?
SOP FOR WHITE MALE IN KOREA
when the subject is ET as sexual deviant, always change subject to korean men. repeat the following over and over and over again:
1. korean men do it too!
2. korean men print these stories because we take their women.
3. this is a plot by korean men.
4. what percentage of korean men do this?
5. they don’t print these stories when it involves korean men.
6. we’ll file a complaint with human rights commision against korean men!
7. this is far more serious a problem with korean men.
do the following after repeating above:
1. never ever take responsibility.
2. always defend your fellow ET no matter what the charges.
3. always change the subject back to korean men.
now press that button, guys!
Hannara:
chill out on the racism bro. no need to make assumptions about his background man. besides we don’t even know if he was doing it for his own personal consumption bro. he might’ve been selling them online or something.
Backing up Pawi now, since I am once again about subverting the dominant paradigm, something drilled into me by the postmodernist professors I studied under at my Alma Mater.
http://www.smh.com.au/news/national/sobbing-upskirt-peeper-jailed/2007/01/25/1169594412136.html
There you have it, we have descended to the level of the dirty Japs. Aigoo!
Pawi, good point… I rolled my eyes the first time “Korean men do it too” came up. Played by the book.
But, I don’t think the “never ever take responsibility,” and “always defend your fellow ET no matter what the charges” stuff is so valid.
First off, there’s no reason for any white males to take responsibility for what this pervert did…except for the ONE white male who was taking the pics. You’d agree with me on this I suppose. And there was nobody defending the kiddie fiddler (to my memory) , which we whiteboys would’ve had to have done because of the “no matter what the charges” clause.
Actually they do report Korean perverts too, though not so often on SBS or other xenophobic gutter-press outlets as they prefer to demonise all NET with their distinct brand of racist yellow ‘journalism’.
More balanced reporting can be found in publications such as the Joonang Ilbo. Today we have these two examples:
http://joongangdaily.joins.com/article/view.asp?aid=2923763
- “Are you really a virgin? You look like you’re pregnant.”
- “Come sit next to me. Not everyone gets to sit on my lap.”
- And to a teacher who said she had visited the dentist: “Why, did someone suck your lips too much?”
What a classy principal, ‘only’ 28 out of 30 female teachers at the school were harassed or complained about the gent!
http://joongangdaily.joins.com/article/view.asp?aid=2923765
Korean parents are panicking, and rightly so, about the many perverts in their midst. If I was a parent I’d be concerned too, especially if some of these perverts were responsible for running schools!
And for a finale we have Korean loansharks-gangsters pressuring prostitutes into committing suicide because of debt.
http://joongangdaily.joins.com/article/view.asp?aid=2923770
As much as the few pervert English teachers here are a legitimate cause for concern and should be got rid of as soon as possible. I maintain that Korean parents are more worried about some of the Korean teachers, and it is only racist scum like some of the SBS, that idiot at the Korea Times, the commie KTU (who want to protect low quality Korean teachers for having their performances assessed) and those AES morons who are making it a mission to tarnish all native teachers with slanderous insinuations.
Not defending the pervy English lad by any means, just telling it like it is. The Korean (racist) press are just projecting, in the same way that other racist media organisations around the world target the blame on ‘foreigners’, it’s pathetic really and fortunately all but a very small minority (such as that sad little shitsack Pawi) pay them any real attention.
I would have given pawi a ‘thumbsdown’ for his contribution, but he’d probably just pop to the bathroom and knock one out over it.
It’s got nothing to do with “ET”s as sexual deviants, or Korean men as sexual deviants. Race has NOTHING to do with any of it. It has everything to do with simply being a perv. Conflating race to such deviance is being disingenuous at best.
If they kept the story to generalities (“a man”, or even “a teacher”) I would have no argument. But to point to race as if it is a character flaw of that particular race is bollocks. Mentioning “oh, here we go, it’s another of those foreign English teachers at it again” is just playing to the negative stereotype out there already.
People get all bent out of shape when certain people complain by saying “Koreans are so (fill-in-blank)” as if ALL Koreans are like that, yet see nothing wrong with doing that same about non-Koreans.
That being said, I hope the dipwad sits his ass in Korean jail until they deport it back to his shitwater town, where I hope he spends the remainder of his sentence in jail there.
#17, the article never mentioned the race of the charged person. All it said was “Mr. J” (27), a British national, English teacher.
“Mentioning “oh, here we go, it’s another of those foreign English teachers at it again””
It’s the title of this thread, which contributes its fair share.
A-hah! I have the solution: Robots.
Englishmen can operate them remotely and significantly lessen the chance their dastardly voyeurism be exposed.
I say, it’s a bleedin’ epidemic.
Fine. Be obtuse. Replace “Race has NOTHING to do with any of it.” with “Race or nationality has NOTHING to do with any of it.”
My point still stands.
Considering that Korean women are fanatical about not showing their panties(if anyone sees Korean women, even those wearing knee length skirts putting their bags on their rear ends when going up the stairs, you’ll know what I mean), I’m surprised the guy was able and took the time to take 102 “upskirt” photos and videos.
My guess is that the guy had a leg fetish or liked pretty Korean girls to the point of obsession and was probably not after photos of Korean panties. Me also thinks that the above exit was probably not his only shooting locations, and I wouldn’t be surprised if he went all over Kangnam(the sidewalks included) to take his 102 photos and videos.
Of course considering that in Korea you can get dragged to a police station for taking pics of people(esp females) without their permission and the Korean media’s need for a sensational English teacher story to end a boring news day, we now have a news story of a Britisher in custody for allegedly taking 102 “upskirt” photos and videos at the exit of a subway station.
