[QUOTE=DexFerty;2679700]There are no rules that state we can't talk about this, and it doesn't even seem like it's against the rules to link to those websites. So with that being said, what websites do you guys recommend? I seem to have no luck finding anyone on MassageRepublic, TopEscortBabes, and CityOfLove.[/QUOTE]Last time I was in Korea, I used MassageRepublic. It seems to be the only reliable site in terms of finding a legit provider.

You could try trystlink, but prepare your wallet, girls there charge upwards of $800 for an hour.

Tried out three options today. Gain, Gold and Castle.

Got turned away at both Gain and Gold.

I was invited to Gold a couple of months back. However this time around no such luck. It seems to be completely on chance these days. If the receptionist likes your face you get entry else you don't.

Got entry into Castle. They charged an exorbitant 310 k for one hour and one shot. I tried to negotiate for two shots but no luck. Currently in the waiting room. Will share the full review in my next post.

Would like to go along with some folks here Taco, Korean? I think going individually is not a good idea for a foreigner.

[QUOTE=MooseWings;2682266]Hey Meeks. I'm just like you, I didn't know what opstar was, but upon digging through the forum more I found the link! Its [URL]opgani7.com[/URL]. If that doesn't work, then change the 7 to an 8 and so on. There are other advertising websites such as yamap7 that don't require registration, but don't see as much advertisement as opstar.

As for other people who have experience with opstar. Are the pictures of the girls real? I'm aware there's some photoshop involved in these pictures, but was curious if they were of the actual girl. I would like to book with a girl on opstar, unfortunately, I am a foreigner (From us, but am Asian) and I don't Korean. Is there any way I could weasle my way through using google translate to text or maybe know a guy who could set an appointment up with me..[/QUOTE]I'm sure it's all fake. They always happen to find girls with fantastic bodies (usually Japanese pornstars) and use their photos. I doubt any of them are real.

When the pictures are of the actual girls, they also say that and its pretty obvious because they're cell phone type pictures and not professional modeling shots.

I remember reading the KoreanChinese (or Taco Yaki?) guy mentioning meeting up sometime. I'm down for that, but I won't be in Korea till mid July.[/QUOTE]Peanuts7 is right. Read the watermarks in the centre of the photos. It will read either 100% which means 100% real, or which means they're still preparing to add a real photo. In other words, it's a placeholder image.

From my experience the 100% real photos are very accurate. I've never felt like I wasn't meeting the woman I booked from the advertisement. They may, however, be more dolled up in the their photos with better hair and makeup, but I've also been pleasantly surprised to find some women to be more attractive in real life.

Moosewings, you might have trouble booking without being able to speak any Korean. In my experience, the last step of the booking process always involves a phone call. You'll need to be able to tell the manager that you arrived, which girl you booked, and that you would like to know her room number as well as the code to enter the building / elevator. Likewise, your listening skills would need to be good enough to gather this info.

Your best bet would be to use google translate, but tell them up front that you are not Korean and don't speak Korean. They may try to accommodate you. It really just depends on the mood of the manager and how much he wants to work to get your business.

Give it a shot and let us know if it works.

No club experience. The provider was at least 50+ And very average looking. Trying to please but was trying to hurry up with a lot of fake moans. I was told that I am too big (which I know I am not. I am just average). There was a namesake massage with which it started off. Lots of loud noises without much contact. It was terrible. Then came the actual service. She continually asked me to be slow and gentle but she was rather rough. Lots of fake moans and kept on requesting me to come off fast.

This has been the single worst experience of my life. At this price point in the US, I have had experiences that were premium and high quality.

Don't intend to visit any more Anmas after this experience. There are places with a quarter of the price which provide a much better experience.

Horrendous rip off is the synonym of Castle anma / Lyra. Could use the worst of the negative adjectives, multiply those by a factor of 100 and the experience would still be below that.

I was a bit skeptical because my local AMP and stuff all use fake pictures to advertise their girls, I guess its different in Korea.

I'll start shooting some messages to managers a couple of days before I arrive in Korea so that I have enough time to set up appointments, or else I'll leave Korea empty-handed! I'll def let you guys know how it went, though it won't be till July. So in the meantime, I'll be trying to learn as much about opstar as possible and Korean ofc.

If you don't mind me asking if you're Korean? If not how were you able to book an appointment aside from getting lucky with a manager? Would it help if I offer to pay a foreigner fee?

Thanks,

MooseWings.

Hugtel- Most places want to speak on the phone. It is for safety and also to see who you are. One story I read was about a guy who got all the way into the room and showered and still after the girl thought about it, decided she was not okay with a foreigner. The good thing was she gave the money back. Also positive, another girl said yes to anal but when it hurt to much give me a refund for that service.

If you find a number you can google it and maybe bring up the other websites. There are at least 3 or 4 and not all businesses are on each. And yes, they change the websites and girls often. So good today might be bad tomorrow. But bad today might be good tomorrow. It is just a lot of work. Pictures, most are not a good match but generally they are not too far off.

YDP does not start until after 8 pm. The girls will "disappear". But if you see guys hanging out, then it probably means they are open but currently hiding. Wait a little and then walk through.

RLDs are really a big hit or miss for foreigners. The girls really do not want to be seen accepting foreigners so if you walk around when it is slow or do not stand out too much, chances could increase.

The ones that are real make sure to advertise that the photos are, in fact, real. I tried to type out the Korean meaning for real and not real that appears watermarked on the photos in my last post but the Korean didn't show up for some reason. Phonetically, it would be be 실 사 'shil-sa' and 'shil-sa Jun.-bi-jung' , respectively.

If their are no watermarks indicating the authenticity of the photos and the photos are all very glamorous and professional, then the photos are probably fake.

Also, to answer your questions, I'm not Korean. I'm white, but I have intermediate Korean skills. To get service, I have always been up front with the management and let them know that I'm not Korean. However, I still get turned down most of the time. Thankfully, I have a handful of regular places that have no problem offering me service. I wish I could access more of them, but this is just the way it is.

And no, it won't help to offer more money. Look at Buddy1978's recent post. If they charge you more, they will also offer you worse service. You'll get some desperate lady they only use to service the drunkest customers. Sounds like they pulled some gremlin out of the basement to service Buddy1978 and charged him well over a normal rate for the pleasure of the experience.

If they ever refuse to show you who will provide the service before you pay, you're better off walking away. If the provider is attractive, they'll have no problem proving it.

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.

To be honest I have mostly given up on finding escorts in 2022 in Korea. It's crazy how things are more backwards in modern times than there were in the 90's and early 00's. COVID is partially a reason for sure, but it clearly isn't a reason now. Koreans are taking over the omicron cases so they can't use that as an excuse whatsoever.

It blows my mind how picky these people can be towards foreigners.

But surprised they even asked if you were a foreigner, might have been just his intuition / your accent / etc?

And correct, they call the girls managers out of respect.

There is also something called "shink-yul" which means how close they are to the photos. Would be "shink-yul 90% which means they are very similar to the photo but could look different due to photoshop. Some have some odd numbers like 65% or something but just know that the higher the percentage, the closer it should be to the image.
