Seoul

[Jjmanse]

It's interesting to see so many people coming to Korea in June. Why is that? Is it due to the relaxation of the COVID mandates and travel regulations?

That's definitely why I am going. If I had to sit through a week of quarantine, that's almost a grand I'm blowing on being alone at a hotel.

As mentioned, you need to be a senior or paid member to send messages and receive them. Looks like you haven't been around long enough to get the senior membership so paying would be your best option.

Yeah, I may just bite the bullet and purchase the membership sometime in April as my account won't be old enough by the time June rolls around.

I'll be in Seoul I'm June as well. Same situation, kyopo with average Korean skills. It's great that COVID restrictions are starting to lift, thing are looking up at that time. Lets find a way to meet up!

You'll need to post more yourself! You need 25 posts to be a senior member as well as six months activity.

Yes, you are correct. I have been around for more than six months but I need to make more posts. If worst comes to worst I'll just pay for membership when the time comes.

Likewise, I will also be in Seoul for most of June. While my Korean is limited (I plan on studying Korean with a tutor for a month and a half straight after finals week), I'm sure I can assist in some way. If you guys go somewhere else, such as Tokyo, I can help you out or arrange a meet-up there in the future if we happen to be in Tokyo at the same time because I am more familiar with the scene there.

For the old hands like myself, a review of Hooker Hill.

First, the bad- the hill continues to be slowly constricted by transgender bars and businesses closed by the pandemic. All shops on the ITW Hotel side (left as you're walking up) are closed and everything below the Grand Ole Opry on that side is likewise closed, to include VIP. As for the ITW Hotel? The million (s) dollar hotel planted right in the middle of hooker ville? It's no longer open. Not sure who thought that was a good business idea, but apparently the gentrification of Itaewon fell to the wayside and now this huge building sits silent and dark on the hill. Shame, it looked like a nice place.

The not as bad- although the pandemic may have hurt business overall, with the recent relaxation of rules there may be a sliver of hope of reopening. There are three non trans bars on the hill proper. At the very top is the Galleria- an old lady works there along with the middle aged one who used to work at the old Amazon Club. They're both rather unappealing without beer goggles, so I didn't bother. Back around the corner and down the hill is the Lily Club with the same hill pimp working there as always. She tried to hustle me into paying for a girl, sight unseen, but I politely rejected and left..

The left of the hill has actually gone out of business long before COVID. I have lived in Korea since 2019 and that left side was empty even then. I also came to Korea as a tourist in 2018 and I can't recall seeing any of those spots open. I believe a lot of those Hooker Hill spots died down when the American military was relocated outside Yongsan and into Osan or Pyeongtaek. That cut down on a lot of the Hooker Hill traffic, which mostly catered to foreigners. As the ladies get older without any new ones taking their place, it also becomes harder to attract new clients who may be looking for younger women.

The hotel on the left side of the hill shut down in 2020, and that was indeed due to COVID. I used to go there often in 2020 for hookups. There also used to be a hotel above Thursday Party (going up the stairs on the left side), which I believe has closed as well.

Hey guys, I will be in town around mid June, I would also be willing to do a meet up as well. My Korean is descent as I have studied it back in the states and as a gyopo (Korean expat), I'm sure I can be of assistance to searching for the best options. Keep me in mind when you become seniors.

The lack of escorts lately kills me. Used to have so many good non-Korean options from 2016-2019 but they've vanished due to covid probably.

Now MR is populated with these post op transgenders claiming to be from random southeast Asian countries like Bhutan, Malaysia, etc while trying to charge 300 k per shot on an incall. Then they have the audacity to be selective about the nationality of the people they see. They absolutely refuse to do outcalls which leads me to believe that they are not independent. Probably have a Korean handler who will not let them leave their areas like most Korean handlers do.

The remaining escorts are 45 year old Koreans with fake pictures who charge insane fees like 500,000 per hour.

Anybody have a good connection where I can get something decent to take a trip to me on a outcall? Living 2 hours away from Seoul in the middle of nowhere sucks. I can find plenty of "massage" spots near me where I simply walk in and pay 120 k for BBBJCFS with a decent Thai but I miss the intimacy of an escort coming to my home or hotel. Willing to pay for the roundtrip transportation.

Ahh the Korean escort on MR who charges insane fees, I think I know who you're talking about. I saw her a few years ago and was shocked to see a much older women than what was on her ad, still paid the insane fee because I was still new to the scene and was afraid to walk away.

BTW do you have any info on Hana or Suji on MR? I was planning on seeing Hana actually a few years ago, but complications arose regarding the incall and settled for the aforementioned escort. Was considering seeing them again if I can't get an reservation with opstar in June.

There are a few non-Korean escort on MR that are white and do outcall, not sure if you're into them.

But yes I agree, the lack of escorts in general is sad. Hopefully there are more escorts that cater to foreigners in the future.

Good advice. I'm a kyopo with middling Korean language skills. I recently tried calling up a local officetel (just once). The manager (actually, in this business they seem to refer to the girls as managers) asked me if I was a foreigner and I responded I was a Korean American. The manager was nice enough, apologized and said even if he could allow me to book, the girls don't like to take foreigners. I think I could have persuaded or offered a little more money but oh well.

Bokehnikon, you're on the right track. Calling is the right move. You'll get a much quicker response if you call rather than text message. A lot of officetels seem to outright ignore all texts.

If you want service, be prepared to make a handful of calls and also make sure to call around to different neighborhoods. I have a feeling that a lot of the officetels in a single neighborhood are operated by the same group of people. So a no from one officetel, might mean a no from the others.

Regardless, keep calling and I'm sure that you'll find at least one that will make good.

She tried to hustle me into paying for a girl, sight unseen, but I politely rejected and left.

Further down is Bean's bar beside of the Grand Ole Opry and East West Club. Bean works there full time and has three other girls rotate in- Kay, another old timer from the old Bridge Club, and some other lady I'd never seen before. It's pretty small, so four women crowded in there is a bit much, but there is a separate room off sight. Bean still looks cute and still has that asset, but has put on a small amount of weight- like every girl on the hill. Kay looked about the same with those huge tits, but she only works weekends and I didn't get to partake. Shame because she's a sweetheart and one of my ATF.

On the main strip are four bars- Texas, Tiffany, Pandora, and Nymph. Texas is still run by Kelly and has a girl named Sarah that works there. Sarah used to work at the Avant Garde, but I had not seen her in five or six years. She's a real sweetheart, too, probably the nicest girl on the hill. A few years ago, I met her and had a really nice time. Naturally pretty, I think she had lost a lot of weight and was self conscious of the stretch marks and loose skin around her mid section. She's put the weight back on, so she's not as appealing as before, but she's still a sweetheart.

Across the street at TIffany are the famous Candy and Suzy. They're always down for whatever and pretty funny, too, so you'll always have a good time there.

Further up at the Pandora is a fairly sexy lady that I've had a pretty good time with before. Not much to say, other than she reminds me a little bit of SD Governor Kristi Noem.

The last place is Nymph and the 'lady' that works there is one that I could swear was a tranny from years ago. I've never partaken, but I could swear she's been on the hill since 2003 and was one of the first trannies.

At any rate, that's a rundown of the slowly dwindling hill scene. Is it terrible? Not really. Trannies are slowly driving out what business there is and what they don't take over, the shop owners have closed up. The girls are aging and there are no new ones, but it can still be fun. Other than the music blaring from the Grand Ole Opry, the hill itself is long past it's prime and pretty quiet.

Nice report, thanks, even if the news is gloomy about the legendary hill.

KoreanChinese you still here buddy? I think we have like two months or so until senior?
