Korean Investigative Reporting: Drunk ESL Teachers in Hongdae
Here's the recent TV broadcast stereotyping foreigners as womanizing drunks, among other things. It also follows a guy around who was blacklisted on the raci Pro-Korean site cafe.naver.com/englishspectrum.cafe. It's 30 minutes long and mostly korean, but still an interesting watch for anyone living or wanting to come to Korea.

I wish we could have it with subtitles. Any chance of you being able to put up some more anti-foreigner vids?

Re: Korean Investigative Reporting: Drunk ESL Teachers in Hongdae
Actually, we don't put up the videos. Other people put them up on video sharing sites, then we just link to them here. winking smiley It looks like the videos come from here, but it's only because the link is embedded.

That being said, there will be a lot more interesting videos coming out soon.

No worries.
This video is pretty insane.
Fortunately, I think most educated Koreans don't believe this tripe...

housewives on the other hand....

Re: Korean Investigative Reporting: Drunk ESL Teachers in Hongdae
no to be mistaken with the womanizing, abusive drunk Koreans...lol.

Re: Korean Investigative Reporting: Drunk ESL Teachers in Hongdae
hehe...no kidding.

Re: Korean Investigative Reporting: Drunk ESL Teachers in Hongdae
OMG! Everyone, I have a video of a drunken adjossi harassing women on the subway!!!! And acting drunk! And being bad! We better show it to the Korean people as soon as possible! ^0^

Re: Korean Investigative Reporting: Drunk ESL Teachers in Hongdae
Lies...all lies. Korean men don't act that way. The blame lays with us foreigners!

Re: Korean Investigative Reporting: Drunk ESL Teachers in Hongdae
Does anyone know what forums the show was referring to where people were talking about how knowing Korean helped with the ladies and one guy joked about Korean orgies? I didn't recognize it.

Re: Korean Investigative Reporting: Drunk ESL Teachers in Hongdae
I had assumed it was English Spectrum, since that's the site they show right before it. But looking at it closely now, it might actually be different. The forum software isn't what English Spectrum uses now. Or, it could be the same forum software but with a different theme or using the administrative panel. It also looks like a screenshot taking from someone's Daum or Naver blog, making it harder to tell where it came from originally.

There's a pretty definitive guide over at Gusts of Popular Feeling with links to infamous forums and news about foreigners in Korea. If you haven't already checked that out, then it might help determine the exact forum these posts came from.

Yeah it would be difficult to locate a group of korean men doing much worse; nightly not 100m from you in any direction.

Try every corner tea room,yogwan...oh i mean local tourist hotel(so many people come here for the 4 seasons) the noraebang and let's not forget the night club. That's just the stuff you see, then you can head to the places where you 'go' to have sex with someone other than your wife.

I've honestly never met a korean man who didn't say he had a '#2'? have you?

Re: Korean Investigative Reporting: Drunk ESL Teachers in Hongdae
My favorite part is the post at 8:44.
I'm sure it's just an honest mistake that the "Just joking. Lighten up people!!!" didn't get translated into Korean.
