NoCut News published another installment of their "The Reality and Twisted Values of Some White Men" series on Thursday, which focused on foreign instructors. This time they find a useful idiot (or simply invent one through creative writing) who parrots the same messages we've seen in the other articles of this series which described the mad, mad world of white male / Korean female relations.

A foreign English instructor: "Secretly recorded sex? That's really disgusting."
[The Reality and Twisted Values of Some White Men, part 7] Sighs, "That would be shocking in any culture"
CBS NoCut News exclusively reported on the issue of the native speaking English instructor working at a well known private university's language hagwon who secretly filmed sex with Korean women and is keeping around 20 videos. After the report went out, Police immediately launched an investigation and the school immediately fired the native speaking instructor. With this incident CBS NoCut News has taken the opportunity to trace back the realities and twisted values of some white men who are representative of native speaking instructors. On the 19th, the seventh article explores future countermeasures through an interview with a native speaking instructor who has heard of the incident. [Editor's note]


"He secretly recorded sex? That's really disgusting."

Adams, an American English instructor we met at an English hagwon in Gangnam, had a look of complete disbelief on his face.

As Adams heard the story of the deviance of a foreign instructor who worked at the language hagwon of a well known private university brought to light by a CBS NoCut News article, his face was often contorted.

He sighed, "In any culture, in any country, this would be a shocking incident."

In four years teaching in Korea, he has heard rumours and guessed that some inappropriate relationships take place between foreign men and Korean women.

"If you go to Hongdae or Itaewon late at night, these things happen a lot. Among my friends there aren't any foreign men like that, but when I first came to Korea, I sometimes heard stories about people like that."

This is not a common phenomenon, however, in truth, there was talk of not a few situations which occur that lead to Korean citizens' anger and misunderstanding.

In particular, these meetings [with women] in particular nightlife spots foreigners frequent were something he explained.

Adams revealed his thoughts on the reason for repeatedly occurring events like the foreign instructor who worked at the language hagwon of a well known private university who 'secretly videoed sex' or 'Chris [Golightly]' who was banned from exiting the country due to accusations by Korean women.

"For now the E-2 visa (the visa acquired to work as a foreign instructor in our country) makes it easy to come to Korea. It's not that concerned with educational background, so many foreigners come to Korea with little interest in being teachers."

He also said that our government's system which produces unqualified foreign instructors in large quantities urgently needs to be improved.

He also pointed out that the personal issues of problem-causing foreign instructors are "due to some instructors without a sense of duty who think they'll just come to Korea for fun and create a festival atmosphere."

"I think such incidents are not completely the responsibility of foreign instructors." "It's also a problem of some Korean women who want to learn English and thoughtlessly approach some foreigners," he added carefully.

"Not long after I came to Korea I was in Itaewon and a Korean women approached me saying 'I want to learn English.' It was a little uncomfortable to have such a meeting on the street, so I'd advise using a site where you can chat with foreigners."

In the end, rather than generalizing this problem as a racial, national or cultural issue, Adams things that one should see it as a difference in individual tendencies or ways of thinking.

As well, among his acquaintances there are also many "Korean - foreigner couples" who met in healthy and beautiful ways, so he was wary of 'making the mistake of rash generalization."

Again, I have to wonder if 'Adams' even exists, though the 'there are lots of foreigners like that, but not me" types certainly are out there. Still, having a member of the group you're criticizing come out and agree with everything you've been saying helps to justify it, with those last two 'see, we aren't racist' paragraphs doing little to counteract the overall message put forth in twelve (as of today) articles over nine days. The important messages here are that he "guessed that some inappropriate relationships take place between foreign men and Korean women," and his description of the "problem of some Korean women who want to learn English and thoughtlessly approach some foreigners" which makes even foreign men "uncomfortable" - best to do it in a mediated way through the internet. Not that there isn't lots to amuse with this piece, what with Adams saying it's "really disgusting" with a "contorted" "look of complete disbelief on his face." We also have fun constructions such as saying it's "not a common phenomenon, however, in truth[...]," something which reminds me of this NoCut News article.

In another article published yesterday, and one more this morning, NoCut News returns to the story of the foreign instructor who 'secretly record sex' which inspired this wonderful series.
