Part 47: Investigation of the realities of "foreign instructors' methods for luring Korean women"
Over a week had gone by since the media had mentioned foreign instructors when, on February 15, 2005, Yonhap reported that SBS was going to do a lengthy report on the issue.
Investigation of the realities of "foreign instructors' methods for luring Korean women"The discourse surrounding this show may be betray a certain focus: "Blond-haired, Blue-eyed Teachers," "white illegal sojourners," "white people." What fun! And if Koreans are "too generous to white people and other westerners," the solution is not to treat workers from southeast Asia better, but to treat 'white people' just as poorly, apparently. And if that's not possible, well, they can just be portrayed as poorly as possible. All of the remaining posts in this series deal with the lead up to and aftermath of this broadcast.
(Seoul=Yonhap News) Reporter Kim Ga-hui = SBS TV's '그것이 알고 싶다' (I want to know that) has focused its coverage on the controversy over the treatment of Korean women by foreign instructors.
In the report entitled "Is Korea their Paradise? Report on the Real Conditions of Blond-haired, Blue-eyed Teachers," which will be broadcast on the 19th at 10:55 pm, the production crew will report on the contents of a recent problematic posting at an internet site titled 'How to lure little Korean girls' and the truth of happenings at some hagwons.
The scene of a foreign instructor in his late 20s, who worked at a provincial supplementary English hagwon and who was dating a high school student, offering marijuana to students is caught on tape. It is revealed that this foreign instructor's purpose in coming to Korea was "not to teach children, but to enjoy life."
As well, the characteristics of English education in the Republic of Korea are criticized in which Korea is seen as a 'cash machine' for those who enter on tourist visas, earn money by teaching English, and travel to southeast Asian countries like Thailand.
The producers claim that the blame for this phenomenon lies with the enforcement of parents who look for white native speaking instructors, hagwons and brokers who chase money, and lax enforcement of white illegal sojourners by indifferent authorities.
It also raises the claim that behind this is our citizens' deep rooted racism which ignores foreign workers from southeast Asia but are too generous to white people and other westerners.
