Korean females sell sex for luxury goods and cosmetic surgery

A 27-year-old salesman at a manufacturing firm in Seoul, surnamed Joo, was indicted for violating the Special Law on Sex Trade and committing fraud against women he met through an online cafe, the Seoul Central District Prosecutors’ Office said Tuesday.

Joo became a member of a “sponsorship” cafe in June last year where men seek women who are willing to sleep with them in return for money.

He faked his identity by saying that he ran a luxury goods shop in southern Seoul to attract the attention of female members. But in real life, he was an ordinary salaried worker earning 1.5 million ($1,400) won a month.

He made an offer to female members that he would give up to 2.5 million won to women who slept with him three-four times a month.

From June last year through April this year, a total of 11 women agreed to this. Over the period, he slept with all the women more than once but did not give them any money.

In one instance, he ran away after having sex with a woman in a motel in August last year. Joo also filmed having sex with another woman and extorted money from her by threatening to upload it on the Internet.

He was caught in May after one of the women reported him to the police.

“This case clearly shows that sponsorship online cafes have become a hot bed for the sex trade. We will look into the problematic cafe operator to see if he or she was involved in arranging prostitution. We will also ask web portals to remove such online domains,” a prosecution official said.

The official said most of the females were ordinary salaried employees seeking to earn easy money to buy luxury goods or get cosmetic surgery

I find it funny that working women need to sell themselves just for the gratification of a luxury handbag or to get a new nose job.
