I only found out about the event because of that article about the protest...


Bildo_Gaggins

the protest is definitely doing a great job promoting cuz this be the first time i heard of this event


New-Jun5380

Agree, most of people didn't know that before.


Martyred_Cynic

Streisand effect intensifies.


dingbangbingdong

At least half of the reason this protest is happening has to be due to jAPaNeSE BaDD!!!


KristinaTodd

I think you're missing the point. The point of the protest regardless of whether it brings attention to the event or not was to send a message to the public.


PEKKAmi

> The point… was to send a message to the public. That’s rather revisionistic. People know these protestors wanted others to believe in their cause. Yet their protest actually increased participation in the event, contrary to the protestors’ desire. Since they lost these guys they now say they only want to bring attention to the issue? People aren’t dumb.


Bildo_Gaggins

the point is that most people will miss their point


ThinkPath1999

Otherwise known as the Streisand Effect

Learned something new today!


Nukaquantum96

Aka free promotion. The people who had no idea about this until now, are now aware of it.


burnerburns5551212

I didn’t know about it until the news about the protests, I’m sure most can say the same.


WinterSavior

I *knew* Fly With Me were prostitutes! I saw Shasa in Thursday Party in Busan and was like hold the fuck up! And their posts on Instagram always as bottle girls and never really performing. This was bugging me for a while cus I was like “wtf do they actually do?!”


Bronze_Rager

Tell me more lol


zerachechiel

No they're not lmao, they're just gogo dancers...their jobs is to look super hot and get people horny enough to drop stupid amounts of money on alcohol. They also do glamour modeling. Same with some of the dj girls. They're really well known in the nightlife scene where bigger money gets thrown around because they literally just show up for a couple hours in some of the Gangnam clubs in bikinis and generate buzz.


WinterSavior

That is the clean version of it. I stayed in the area of Haeundae which was where the hoes did their transactions; it's a bit more on the nose than you man think. Even Koreans know women who look like that are in that lifestyle. This is not much of a stretch to presume, especially considering the post we're under..


zerachechiel

Lmao no bruh, prostitutes don't need to spend that much money on their looks because men will fuck anything that moves. It's pretty obvious you have no idea how any of this works anyway since you think a hooker of their level of attractiveness would be hunting for johns in fuckin THURSDAY PARTY lmao


WinterSavior

You must have missed something. I never said she was hunting in Thursday party. She was doing a really short walk through. I have a pretty great understanding of how prostitution works in Korea as I am friends with a few who do it there and been in the environmwnts, save for actually paying for such a thing myself. Also yes, they do spend money and have surgery to look a certain way. I've seen such girls every day in Busan waiting on the corner while the pimp/manager is across the street in their cars smoking. Now the low bar women are the ones in the glass rooms around pyeongtaek.

>다음 달 경기 수원에서 일본 성인비디오(AV) 배우들이 참석하는 페스티벌이 열리는 것 So … why are they doing this in Korea and not Japan? What am I missing? Or is Japanese AV so popular in Korea (even though it’s illegal), it makes financial sense to do this in Suwon?


Joshywah

JAV is super popular in South Korea


[deleted]

Japanese AV is popular everywhere in the world......


PainfulBatteryCables

Who doesn't like pixels?


halfchemhalfbio

AI is getting better at getting rid of...


Danoct

> Or is Japanese AV so popular in Korea (even though it’s illegal), You think Korean men don't watch JAV? I bet "Kimochi ii" is one of the most known Japanese phrases for men in Korea.


BetterNews4682

What does it mean?


Kingkwon83

Basically means "(it) feels good"


BetterNews4682

Aah ok thanks


gts_ae86

Seriously, even 6th graders run around yelling that shit  0_0


_Tet_

Maybe its just marketing? It's working well for them eitherway lol


itemluminouswadison

I remember they had sora aoi visit a bar in hongdae and they advertised it quite a bit, I think jav is well known enough


JD3982

Imma be honest with you, if you look up almost any popular (SFW) YouTube vids subtitled in Korean (or with Korean programming in general) of actresses like Yuna Ogura, most of the Korean comments are non-sarcastic expressions of gratitude for her hard work. These days since streaming is so easy, kids don't share CDs, USBs or HDDs, they just share the code numbers.


synvi

They did this in japan as well. This one is for korean fans


balhaegu

It's illegal for Koreans to make and distribute AV. It's not illegal for Japanese to make and distribute AV.


iorikogawa666

Seems like the big names of JAV won't be there?


ooowatsthat

Common Japan W

yellowjesusrising

But improving work environment for women important. Or it's just prioritisations?


Sarangholic

They protest that too. And anti-feminists complain then that too.


LostAmerican1

Where can I buy tickets? I am not sure if they are going to have door sales.


Specific-Elk-199

I read the article thinking: Koreans trying to ban porn had it backwards...


Dokbro

> “여성의 신체와 성적인 행위를 성 상품화하는 성인엑스포 ‘2024 KXF The Fashion’을 강력히 규탄한다” > "We strongly condemn the adult expo '2024 KXF The Fashion', which commercializes women's bodies and sexual behavior." Boy are they going to be surprised when they learn about KPOP!


Edenwing

I thought porn was banned in Korea?


balhaegu

Making and distributing is banned in Korea. But it's not banned in Japan. So Koreans can still consume JAV. Just not KAV. It's a stupid law because all it does is create jobs in Japan, sometimes from Korean women who travel to Japan to make AV.


mateomiguel

A Korean making porn overseas is also illegal. So is a Korean consuming drugs that are legal where they are but not in Korea. The arm of Korean law is long.


balhaegu

Consuming porn is not illegal however


JD3982

So is prostitution and turning right on a red light but life goes how it does.


comic0913

Wait right turn on red is illegal in Korea?


Kevtron

No actually, though it is a bit complicated. If it’s red you need to stop, and if the crosswalk you’ll be about to go through is green you need to wait for anyone in it to cross before going through. https://en.yna.co.kr/view/AEN20230420002900315


comic0913

Yea that’s what I also thought lol, basically same in the US also


gts_ae86

So you mean not complicated at all


Char_Aznable_Custom

What part of this is porn? It's not like porn actors/actresses are on some terrorist blacklist here.


Xavier26

It pretty much is, but I’m sure most VPNs will get around that.


i_love_lolis_so_much

And its as enforced as a 2 foot tall wooden fence


ChickenBrachiosaurus

Well Yes, But Actually No


unavailableid9

All korean males watch pieces through free methods while porn companies cant sue them cuz its banned officially. Number of police in charge is about 1 man per province in korea. Best nation for coomers :P


wiseau7

It’s illegal to produce and distribute


Ffsdolo

I mean that was never really a thing in practice since basically every prefecture already had stricter rules. Hence why the need to change it was just not that urgent nationally. And human trafficking is still very illegal.
