i was the french girl in the black shirt!!! thank you so much for including me in your interview i had a lot of fun 🖤🖤🖤

Riding a white horse 🎠 is so disrespectful. It creeps me out when men over sexualize women. Love the video ! Very enlightening

I am Russian and I am in Korea right now. The stereotypes I get made me cry whole day yesterday:(

I’m European. I went to seoul in 2019 and ended up in a nightclub with some other girls. I can’t even put into words how I felt. I couldn’t take a step without some random man trying to grab me, I had men put hands all over my body (obviously without my permission). Me and a friend hid in the bathroom but when we tried to leave again it turned out 5 different men had been waiting for us?? at one point someone even grabbed my arm and tried to pull me out of the club and into a taxi without even talking to me. I understand that there are stereotypes about foreign women but honestly it seems that’s more like an excuse for men to treat us with a complete lack of respect. Korea is a beautiful country and I enjoyed everything else about it, but if you’re a woman going there just be careful.

People should to stop assuming that individual personality is determined by their nation's media. There are Westerners that are very conservative in relationships and there are women in the East that are down to hook-up. If I believed all Asian women were like those in K-dramas, I'd assume that they still haven't ever dated at age 35 and throw tantrums like babies when they're upset.

I live in Seoul and it's true that quite a few young guys, grown adults and elderly men have asked me if I was Russian. Before coming to Korea, I didn't mind that question because even in my homecountry of France, people always told me that I looked Polish, Russian or eastern European in general. Even Russian people ask me if I'm Russian sometimes. ^^ I'm blonde with blue eyes, and I have high cheek bones, so I get it. It's not so much the question that bothers me, it is their behavior when asking that question with heavy undertone in Korea that creeps me out. Even when I was visiting the Blue House in broad daylight with a Korean female friend, an ahjeossi came up to me, abruptly interrupted our conversation and blurted out: "Are you Russian?" with an avid look. His wife didn't look pleased at all. And before getting married, I tried meeting people while doing language exchange. I met great people there that actually wanted to learn a foreign language, but there were also foreign hunters who got handsy quickly and would try to initiate some kind of "skinship" right away, by putting their arms around me. I told them to not touch me as I know they wouldn't behave this way with Korean women. And no, I don't go to clubs and I've never used Tinder in my entire life. Those were in cafés. It was a good way to recognize the creeps. There are exceptions but, for me, what worked well was having this rule: if a guy born and raised in Korea puts a single finger on me before being in a committed relationship, he was out.

Oh my god 😢 I’m so sorry to hear that Russian women have this reputation in Korea 😢 I really would like to visit Korea because I like their culture, but being Russian I’m afraid of possible prejudice.. unfortunately, I had unpleasant experience in other countries too, and men don’t understand that their behavior could hurt someone

Thanks for covering the topic. I wanted to clarify that it's NOT just about men in clubs! Quite a few hold that perception abt foreign women unfortunately. I lived there as a student and met a lot of foreign women- students, professionals, some with kids etc. Almost everyone had an experience with some random guy on the street/subway asking if they were "Russian". I myself was groped just minding my own business on public transportation. Other times, I just felt patronized or dismissed by Korean men in professional settings or treated like a child. Couldn't shake off that uncomfortable feeling that we are being viewed as exotic pieces of meat basically. Granted, it was a few years back so hoping things have changed. And no, it was not only negative experiences, but just wanted to highlight this, as everyone in the comments just seems to be thinking that foreign women only hang out in hongdae and itaewon at 2 am, thus perpetuating the stereotype.

my friend is russian and she loves korea and korean culture very much.. i hope she will never meet those weird men that sexualize every blond girl :(

This girl at 3:00 is so right!! I didn't think about how western tv series (which are sometimes awful at portraying dates and relationships) influence people from other countries for example Asians. This is even comic how opposite the image and reality are in Western and Korea tv series. Korea is more traditional but I've heard that one night stand is common here for those who wants it. It's not so common in Russia, for example

That old stereotype about Russian( or not even Russian, but Slavic, because earlier it was easier for many people say that they are Russian than explane what is the country they are from) women is still have legs as I can see...It was after 90th when USSR fall, so many girls searched a husband in another country to relocate or some of girls really were prostitutes and went there for a work, BUT since then so many years gone and so many smart girls came there to study, to work and still. WTH?!

I lived abroad and heard same gossip about Russian women in Europe. But the truth I found out is that when people say Russian they usually refer to Russian speaking girls- and thats a lot of people outside of Russia. The girls who do it for money also say they are Russian other then their real nationality because of the ignorance a lot of foreigners unfortunately have: many foreigners simply don’t know their countries and can’t imagine the background the girl has. But pretty much everyone knows where Russia is and some stereotypes already. So for some girls it’s easier. That’s what I personally heard.

I like that you bring these questions on a surface to show the truth because this helps to understands what to expect and not fantasize about country by romantic dramas which are really kind and so on but really far from reality. And people need to live in reality.

I'm Turkish and both Turkish men and women often ask me if I'm "Russian". We have the same problem here. Foreign women, especially ones from Eastern Europe are highly fetishized. A lot of Turkish men who approach me here get pretty disappointed when they find out I'm Turkish. Especially on online dating platforms, which I do not use anymore. Quite often, when I respond by saying "No, I'm Turkish", they stop all communication with me or even block me.

loved this video! i think we've all heard the rumors of russian girls, but this video helped me understand how difficult it could be for them to be fetishized in that way. we hear sad stories of other types of women being overlooked, but i think too much attention is bad too.

I've heard that being a foreign women puts you at a higher risk for being sexually assaulted especially at clubs and I can imagine how people thinking you're a prostitute because of your nationality would put you at an even higher risk. Not that being a sex worker makes anyone deserving of assault but the way people's brain works is crazy and I hate that it's 2023 and such stereotypes still exist.

As a Russian, I was trying to find native Korean people to practice my Korean with and all I get is stereotypes about Russian pretty girls. “Oh I heard Russian girls are pretty” or “so you are Russian right? You have blonde hair and blue eyes?” Honestly it’s creeping me out, like I wanna learn Korean, not hear about creepy stereotypes they believe… and idk what to do, like I can’t find Korean ppl who would not say this kind of stuff and just correct my Korean. But I really wanna learn Korean but this I just wanna give up. So yeah

У россиянки отличный английский язык)

That's sad part of South Korea... I'm just normal Korean and I've never ever ever thought about foreign woman in that way.... I want to cry hahaha

Что-то как-то печально... Надеюсь когда-нибудь все эти стереотипы будут развеяны. Всем добра ❤

I am a Korean man. This is just my point of view as a Korean man, if you have a different thought, you are probably right. First, I feel a bit uncomfortable with "The Fetishization Of Foreign Women By Korean Men" since it sounds like Generalizing many Korean men have the fetishization of foreign women, but It's still a good thing to discuss this kinda topic. However, It is also true that there are Korean men who try to hook up foreign girls in some night clubs or dating apps for sure, and they think of foreign women as if it's an achievement in the game like a trophy. But What I want to point out is that Ordinary Korean never go to nightclubs or use Dating apps to find their potential partner for the future. So, frankly speaking, the bunch of men in the nightclub (not all of them tho) are there to look for one-night stands for sure, and the likelihood to meet those kinda ppl(having the fetishization of foreign women) is supposed to be high in that case. So if you are a foreign woman, and you would like to meet Korean guys. It is a better idea that you join some kinda clubs where you can share a hobby or other places like school, church or use blind dates. Plus, I see the thing also works the same in other countries since I currently live in Canada. Apart from what I said, I feel sorry for the women who had a bad experience in S.Korea. I would like to say to foreign women having a fantasy about Korean guys from K-drama that it would be better to leave the fantasy just at the drama. Korean men are not as perfect as you watched in the dramas, they are just typical average men. There's probably a very small number of exceptions though.

Thank you for bringing attention to this topic, great questions as always. I too experienced a lot of what these women were talking about in Korea. There are many good men there but unfortunately when you stand out as a foreigner the weird ones gravitate towards you. I've had the "are you Russian?" query a few times (I'm very blonde) and have been asked at 7am on my way to work "do you like motels?" (never went to that bus stop again). It's sad to me that someone would treat anyone this way, making you feel like an object or something to be bought and discarded later rather than a person. Glad to say I met a lot of kind people in Korea though who showed me that that behaviour is not the norm

Me clicking on the video notification: "Oh okay, this is gonna be an interesting watch." *10 seconds in* "If a Korean guy comes up to you and asks you if you're Russian, he's basically asking if you're a prostitute." Me (A Russian): *pulls out headphones and yeets them across the room*

I've heard that cheating while in relationship is quite common in Korea. Am european myself and best traditional. Am not even easy on dating and not to talk about sleeping around.

What is worse - I have met some Korean men and generally men from Asian countries (including India) living in my country - Poland, at gatherings with my friends. They were very disrespectful and treated me like a piece of meat or a prize. I'm naturally very blonde and light-skinned. At some meetings, where we were supposed to be friends, they called families to brag about me - told me to show myself and say "Hi" and then to "don't speak any more". I felt like an object, not like a person, and the lack of respect for my boundaries was often apparent in those encounters. They have lived in Poland for some years, which I find even more outrageous - they didn't learn because they didn't want to.

I love how calmly you talk & how you pay attention to people's responses. Rare to find people like you... u are like an angel 😇❤️

As someone who lived in Korea for sometime and is white and had Korean friends, this is like the norm. Because they don’t care about being fetishized themselves when I brought this subject up to my Korean friends I said is it not weird for you that someone might just want to have sex with you because you’re Korean? And not for who you are as a person? And they said it wasn’t weird at all, why would it be weird. They see it as a compliment. And they think it’s a compliment when they feel this way about foreigners and they think it’s like just wanting to experience love from another culture. It’s very interesting compared to the west where it’s to the other extreme where appropriation is thrown out for so many things. I am indifferent to the subject because I feel it would be wrong for me to judge their way of living as it isn’t done with malicious intent but wanted to share my experience on this subject as someone who lived there and talked to Korean men and women about this.

It’s weird that in Korea the foreigner women are viewed as easy girls while the foreigner guys in Asia see the local Asian girls as easy. ??? 😢

K explorer, you are a rare gem on KZfaq. You are professional. I am fed up with channels which such aubjects are regarded very debased, biased, etc.

Bro you always bring interesting topics. Well done and thought!!!

I have been in Korea for 7 years and at the beginning when I was blonde I would have people in itaewon ask me how much for the night. As the girl mentioned, Korean men associate Russian girls with prostitution because back in the days they had many Russian girls working at karaoke(speaking bars). After 7 years I am tired and hate being asked if I am Russian and people always ask me why I hate Russian girls. I don’t hate Russian girls. I have amazing friends from Russia here. I hate being called Russian by men because they associate it with something negative and think Russians are easy to get and have no standard. Which is bs. But they have let media and past affect their opinions so it will be very hard to change. Same goes when they find out I’m American and they think oh so can we kiss now? After 5 min of talking. They have such a misconception of what open minded is. Open mind yes but not open legs.

In Korean dating show the participant don't show the real them. Reputation in Korea is very important. Pretending to be innocent is the odeal.

Ive always wanted to go to korea as part of my travels, taste their foods, meet the people, and possibly find a nice korean guy to be with. But now seeing this had made me realise how many stereotypes and stigmas are attached to foreign women and im afraid now that if i go there i wont be taken seriously. Some of the stuff ive read is terrrifying and im so sorry to all those people that went through difficult situations just bc theyre a foreigner. The media really needs to change because we arent items they can buy and throw away.

I was raped in South Korea by a Korean I met online who looked nothing like his online picture. He decided I was an ideal candidate to bear his progeny. For me all this rings true, even if generalizations seem harsh for the exceptions. We all know everyone isn’t like this but there is definite evidence many Korean men lack scruples regarding foreign relations.

Im an American guy but I swear Korean guys seem like something else. I can't help but think that the Kdramas and Kpop make them think they're sex defined or something lol

I have quite a few foreign friends in Korea, and the commonality of the stories of friends who cried and asked me for counseling after meeting a bad man in Korea was that they met a man at a club or on Tinder. In fact, I understand that there are few places for them to meet men naturally in Korea as foreigners. But if you meet idiots just because you're lonely, it will only waste your time and emotions.

I'm Russian and I can assure you that the problem is only the place where you are looking for a guy. All clubs/ dating apps like tinder meeff etc. are designed for such type of guys in Korea, mostly korean guys I met outside of apps doesnt have such stereotypes.

Bro is gorgeous 😩

Man! How cool you are 😎 Your style is amazing. I appreciate how African people always care their appearance. You all look beautiful to me.

I'm in love with russian girl way of thinking and speaking.

They learn from watching too many western media especially Hollywood movies. Also 20-25 years ago many ex-Soviet women came to Korea on "entertainment "visas to work in bars or strip clubs. So I guess the image still persists but its not bad as before. Believe me its not nearly as bad as in western countries. On the flip side look at all the white guys going to Thailand or Philippines on sex tours.

YES! THANK YOU! This needs to talked about more! I've experienced it all the time in East Asia!

As one of the ladies in the interview said, sadly, because of media representation, western woman are seen as easy to have intimate relationships wich is sad because that's not the case for many of us.

This serves as a wake-up call for Western women to understand how they are portrayed by international media. Platforms like Only Fans and Twitch streamers inadvertently reinforce these stereotypes. It wasn’t long ago that Asian women faced similar challenges. The infamous scene in "Full Metal Jacket" with the line, "Love you long time," from a Vietnamese character, unfortunately, tainted the image of Asian women, particularly for those residing in Western countries. In the past, Western men were highly sought after by Asian women, largely due to war and media influence. Now, the tables have turned, with Western women showing a preference for Korean men, largely driven by media portrayals. The world is indeed a carousel, with everyone getting their turn. The media wields significant power in shaping public perception.

One of the things that annoy me the most and that's not something solely happening in korean minds, is the idea that someone who has many different sexual partners, automatically doesn't care who that partner is/would sleep with anyone. I can't speak from my own experience because while I don't think there is anything wrong with it, skinship with someone I don't have basic trust in is way beyond my comfort zone/stressfull to me, but most of my friends had various one night stand, but just because of that no one else is entitled to "their time". And yeah, in general it would be great if we could just stop generalizing. People will have different opinions not matter the continent/the country they're from. Weither it's for religious reasons, general upbringing, based on experiences or like me simply because of their own comfort zone.

I completely agree with the lady in the white shirt, if what you truly are looking for is a long time relationship not some one night stand you will find it

Я так скажу: в вопросе, русская ли я, не увидела ничего плохого. Если много путешествуешь, это не может смущать, - в каждой стране спрашивают подобное. Меня спрашивали все, и мужчины, и женщины, просто потому, что хотели пообщаться с иностранкой. Вряд ли меня хотели "снять" корейские аджуммы)) Белокожая блондинка привлекает внимание везде - не только в Корее, но тем более в Корее. Помню, один аджосси помог с картой в метро, второй - провёл экскурсию по Пусану, говоря на идеальном русском (он попросил попрактиковать его - был очень мил). За всю поездку я встретила лишь одного мудака с white horse - и это был какой-то 60-летний дядька возле пивнушки посреди ночного Сеула. Про русских проституток стереотипы есть везде, поверьте, но в Корее никто Наташей не называл, как в Турции. Вообще никак никто не называл, никто ни разу не нарушил границы. Только китайцы, как обычно, лезли фоткать, но я к этой дикости ещё в Китае привыкла. В остальное время все корейцы были очень милыми и приветливыми, я влюбилась в них как в нацию. Один раз в кафе через тётушку-хозяйку с нами "поговорила" толпа корейских аджосси - сказали, что мы красивые. Не приставали, очень интеллигентно, комплимент был общий - и как бы от самой тётушки, и от этой компании. За красоту также получали экстра-кофе от девушек-бариста. Один мужчина назвал меня принцессой, когда я ходила в ханбоке по Кёнбоккуну, и это был европеец. Также я нашла себе друга-корейца, с которым общаюсь два года. Пока его искала, переобщалась в приложении с сотнями корейцев, и ни один не сбросил дикпик (вы прикиньте). Если подкатывали с определёнными намерениями, то так и спрашивали, а кого я ищу и для чего. Я отшивала, и они сразу уходили. Магия! Просто уходили! После русских парней и сз - это что-то с чем-то. Короче, хочу сказать по крайней мере русским девочкам: дорогие мои, после "кис-кис-кис", алкашни подъездной и "дэвушка, вас подвезти", вам в Корее точно покажется безопаснее. Мой опыт не значит, что в Корее нет плохих мужчин. Но и опыт девочек, повстречавших уродов, не значит, что в Корее нет хороших мужчин. Никогда не теряйте бдительность! Вот и всё. Увы, нет места на этой планете, где было бы абсолютно безопасно.

I love hearing about the different experiences you share with us through your interviews. Thank you so much

I’m so tired of the “well westerners in movies have so much sex” excuse like cmon. At what point in time are you going to realize that movies aren’t real and just because you see a bunch of foreigners doesn’t mean they want to hookup with you. Koreans aren’t dumb people but every time I see videos based on this topic it’s like do they lack common sense or are they willfully ignorant? And trust this argument goes both ways from westerners to Koreans as well with all the K-pop and dramas

클럽, 바, 틴더에서 진지한 남자를 만나길 원하는 것 자체가 문제 아닌가요. 한국 여자도, 클럽, 바에서 한국 남자 만나면, 서로 쉽게 자고, 쉽게 헤어집니다. 자연스럽게, 학교 생활 직장 생활, 취미활동 하면서 알게되는 남자라면, 진지한 남자를 만날 수 있는거죠. 오랜 관계, 진지한 관계를 원한다면, 자연스러운 어울림을 통해 만날 수 있는 무대를 선택하세요. 어디서 만나느냐가 중요하죠.

Blame entertainment and bad representation by western media.

Off topic but he’s literally ethereal. Don’t get me wrong tho I truly watched the video and found it extremely interesting. Great job‼️‼️

It’s not only American movies and shows, I’ve watched German shows that show sexual intimacy more raw than American ones in the first 5 episodes Update: I watch shows from different countries and I have to say that the US is the LEASTTTTTT explicit that I’ve seen. US sexual scenes got nothing on these other countries, including Mexico, Brazil, Germany, and the UK.

When in Korea old guys keep asking me if I was Russian 🤬 now I understand, illogic because I was cover up and walking next to my husband and I look a lot Chinese by the way. Now I feel offended

Funny how the "exotic factor" of foreign people is a thing in so many countries.. I have made some street interviews about this as well, from Argentina, Brazil and Denmark so far

Love your current hair style Jerry 😆👍

being from Russia and seeing that - that;s disgusting, especially when so many "russian koreans'' moved back to Korea

Going to both countries, I find F boy culture is more common in South Korea than Japan. Some dudes over there think some foreign women are completely play into all this kpop kdrama stuff and will sleep with them on the first date.

I'm Russian and I've spent four months in Korea and I've never encountered any racist stuff or harassment. no one esumed I'm a prostitute just because I'm Russian.

That Russian short haired woman is amazingly charismatic! She has HIGH EQ

My younger sister's classmates are 11 years old, but they wear very sexualized clothes and put a lot of makeup on their faces. Many of them have something in the spirit of "Jimin, I want children from you" written in their status on social networks. I am only 5 years older, but often, like a pensioner, I say: "Here in my time... there was no such debauchery in my time... in my time, children read books... and we wore underpants, not thongs..."

You can also say that there are women around the world who fetishizes about Korean Men because of K Drama and K Pop. And they would go all the way to Korea hoping to meet Korean Men to date like the men in K Dramas . So it goes both ways.

these days, International marriage keep getting popularity among Korean guys. Not all guys are looking for hookup. If girls want more serious relationship, they should go cafe not a club

Thats because a lot of foreign women meet korean men in club or tinder. thats not how korean usually meet each other. you cannot meet quality guy on tinder or in club

Where is K Explorer's accent from?

The foreign woman married to a Korean man have the best and most sensible answers 😊

On a side note I love your hair. The braids look good on you. ✌🏽

I think it's just an ignorant man thing. I mean western guys think asian women are easy too. I don't think most guys regardless asian or western think like that tho and most women regardless western or asian are not easy.

I hope that someone introduces this topic to the main media so that korean guys can see that foreigners arent toys, and that these are all only ideals and fetishisizations

New to this channel and the interviewer is soooo handsome!!!

Yeah it’s like I’m Europe, some guys think and fantasise about Asian girls especially japanese being all cute and kawaii

I can just feel the girls in the video trying to humiliate Russian girls. Although there are actually 2 possible reasons why they were mistaken for Russians. 1-they are beautiful 2- another reason. Although in Korea there are no such concepts as "easy girl" anymore. If you go to a club, you will notice a lot of Korean girls in very extravagant outfits that don't hide their breasts and hips…That Russian girls are "simple" for Korean men I generally heard only from girls. Men, on the other hand, said that Russian girls are beautiful and easy to talk to. They call a concept like "one night stands" a chip of American culture. Why don't we also think that girls want to have sexual experiences with Korean guys? Or is it just our role in the world to be prey instead of predators? Honestly, it's the usual misogynistic nonsense.

Sorry, offtopic, I enjoy how this interviewer speaks peacefully, pure zen, no negative emotions, only calming and supporting.

클럽이나 술집에서 한국남자를 만나지 마세요.

Английский язык этой чудесной женщины из России станет видео каждого дня, чтобы не потерять цель в изучении языка. ... как-то я не по-русски пишу. Хах😅 К сожалению, после видео стало грустно(.

I can't give this video a thumbs up because of those two women who had no shame to throw a whole ethnicity of women under the bus of 'Oh I heard it from a friend' and cementng the stereotype instead of, I don't know, saying that being a creep (man or woman) is not okay in any country. Russian and Slavic tourists and exchange students must have some very creepy encounters in S Korea (and everyone who even remotely looks like them)

I will say there aren't many places in the world where European women and men are not fetishized..

im east european girl living in korea and speaking korean for more than 10 years, currently living here for 3 years and half and i can't really explain how many times i was traumatized by k men not only by close contact, but also just because i hear and understand everything what they say when see european face the freshest example is this year in early July i went with my k friend to have dinner (i mean real dinner, it was day time), two ajossies sat down behind us and i swear i heard like one of that old assholes asked to the opponent how much it costs to sleep with foreign women now i turned in tears immediately, my bad i wish i be stronger than now next time and i wish i couldn’t speak korean sometimes

Watching this just makes me think about how many non African women fetishize African men and "bbc". We're not all 10 inches out here it's unrealistic without enhancements! I guess now they see what it feels like to be only viewed as a sex fantasy. But, honestly, I think both sexes fantasize and fetishize either sex in their head, but it's just about respect. You can't help who you find attractive, and obviously it shouldn't just be about your sex desires when meeting someone.

are we going to ignore the fact that there is fetishization on both sides? a lot of these foreign women only came to korea because of korean drama and kpop do to their attraction towards korean men who were in them.

Great vid. You have a pretty soothing voice Interviewer.🤗

I just want to say you're very handsome and have great style!

클럽에서 정상적인 남자를 찾는건, 바보같은 행동..

Would like to see an interview/insights topic on Korean men in their mid-20s to mid-30s+ who still live at home and let their parents still raise and rule them, which in my country it would consider them mama-boys, like in my case moved away from home and self-sufficient when I was out of high school at 18 and been on my own since, and only go home to visit family during holidays and family get-togethers and my life is my own my parents may give me advice when asked but they don't rule me.

first video I'm watching of yours and sir you are beautiful

From the other side, I am a 17 year old young man who s into eastern asian girls (btw I m not a weeb, never watched anime) but I never thought or believed that are easy. I am from Romania. Maybe being an american boy is a privilege. But while actually having dating preferences and looking for a long term relationship, seeing the majority of western dudes going to these countries like Japan, South Korea, Philippines, Vietnam, Kazakhstan and China, to just use them for their short term pleasure and then brag to their friends back home about what girl they smashed and that they should go there too and etc....That disgusting sh!t infuriates me every time I think about it.

Any repressed, inexperienced, creepy, lustful man will, if given the opportunity, will use any "psychological" method to dominate women. Unfortunately, women and girls belong to the most disenfranchised group in the world. Despite all of life's challenges; we must always strive to be financially smart, mentally strong-yet sensitive, generous, nurturing and sensual. Afterall, as it has been said: "WOMEN HOLD UP HALF THE SKY." Peace and love.

Jesus, as a Chinese guy I am a bit surprised this sort of stuff is so common in Korea, I dont think this sort of stuff is nearly as prevalent in China.

what a reputation we have ))

Riding a white horse is insane lmaoooo

i love ur hair!

Bro, I tend to like your fashion sense but what is that shirt? lol

If he’s gonna ask about Korean men fetishizing foreign women, He should also ask the foreign women about the Fetishization of Korea and Korean men that brought them there 😂😂 Talkin about media portrayal and media while kpop and kdramas is the single factor while half of these people pack up their lives to live there.

Can we talk about fetishization of Korean men by Foreign women?

I guess foreign people and other races are fetishized to some extent everywhere. Some races/nationalities may be seen as some kind of exotic and admiration like "oh, I met this cute Asian girl the other day" or "That Spanish guy is so hot, like in those movies", or "I like Slavic women so much, they're the most beautiful". But sometimes people tend to have stereotypes about other nations and regions. Some think women from Thailand are so easy, cuz there are lots of prostitutes there, there are many Slavic girls in porn and because of that you can do them easily. Latin girls are "known" for how easy they are for a quickie. Very often those stereotypes based on the economical situation in the particular region. I have a female friend who is really into Turkey and Turkish men in particular. Before she'd moved to Turkey she dated guys who might seem like a stereotypical Turkish series protagonist, she had some weird and even ridiculous stereotypes that romanticized Turkish guys, like their better lovers than everyone else and there's even a biological evidence to it.😄In Russia people often think that Turkish men have a term "Natasha" which describes an easy Russian speaking girl. I don't know if it really is like that in Turkey, but still. I'm from Russia and a couple of my female friends who were go-go dancers several years ago went to China to work as dancers in clubs. They told me that Chinese clubs liked to have foreign girls as dancers. They didn't really have to work a lot, but were paid decent money.

Опять все шишки - на русскую голову. Вы там, в Корее, не обижайте русских девчат.

Ahaha I'm from France like the two girls that lives in England, I must correct them by saying "it's the same way like Western guys fantasize about Asian women", actually in France or Europe, this phenomenon is more about women fantasizes on Asian guys 😁. I know a lot of girls that want to have Asian boyfriend.

Wow this is eye opening

I am curious but at the same time not as to what the reaction would be from Korean people when watching "too hot to handle"... lol
