Expats Double Edge Sword.

I just discovered this story today regarding a Korean woman executing a complaint against a Western man for lying to her about his marital status after a long affair.  This has got to be the biggest pile of hypocrisy I have ever read.  If Ms. A is able to do this to a Western man, how many Western women can make the same complaint against Korean men?  I could, against at least two, if not 5, different Korean men.

And if Korea wants to make a big stink about this, as the Ilyo Sinmun and Financial Times has done, perhaps, the Keerogi sytem, "The Wild Goose" system, where the father stays in Korea while the family moves to an English speaking country, should be well investigated for encouragement of infidelity.  I can tell you that I have ended up on dates with at least 5 married Korean men (unknowingly) who were not looking for a serious relationship (after all, Korean mom wouldn't allow a white girl into the family, would she?)

This story is a joke and while I do not advocate the actions of Mr. B, it is not illegal behavior and it is not behavior Korean men are immune from.  That this story was public is ludicrous beyond words.  Ms. A is not the first Korean woman to be used by a Western (or Korean) man and not the last.

Look in the mirror, Korea, before judging the Western men (again, I DO NOT condone their behavior as I have stated many times in previous postings).  How many Korean men behave badly overseas?  Besides, this is consensual between two adults.  Welcome to the modern world.
