China’s leading media websites published photos of alleged Korean entertainers selling sex, spurring criticism from Koreans and other foreigners.
Sorry but I have to digress for a minute. "Other foreigners" are complaining about this? About Korean stars appearing on ads for hookers in China? Really Korea Times? That is pretty weak even for the Korea Times.
The article ends by saying
But it is doubtful that Korean female entertainers are really engaging in prostitution, as it has not been confirmed where the photos came from and who really are pictured, according to Onbao.com.
Which would mean that the sites are probably using photos of stars from elsewhere, look alikes, or just blurry photos that can't really be identified as anyone in particular. It reminds me of something I saw, no exaggeration, all the time in Korea. Cards advertising for hookers on cars and the ground. Just ask Stig how often he had to clear them off his car windows.
You can see a couple of those types of cards in the picture above. They are the smaller ones on the bottom left. You could see the pictures used in some bigger ads too. Most of the pictures on these ads/cards weren't of Korean women. They often used pictures of Japanese AV stars as well as Chinese stars. I saw more than a few ads using Shu Qi.
A few times students brought the cards to class. They said they were collecting them. :)
I brought a few home. They're... packed away somewhere. You wouldn't just see them on cars, but also on the front steps of love motels. I guess you pick one up on the way in and order a girl for your room.
ReplyDeletethat's nothing they use to literally litter the playground in front of my building in Incheon
ReplyDeleteThe abundance of them all over the place is why I had to laugh when the Mayor of Busan tried to act all shocked a year or so ago when reporters "confronted" him about them. If he really didn't know they existed he is a fucktard of the Nth degree.
