It's Korean fetish!



Do you realize weirdness of this picture?






This is one of my favorite restaurants named butterfinger pancakes. I took this picture two weeks ago, and at that time, I thought it's very weird.

There was no male customer at all!!!

Of course, there is no rule that guys cannot come to this restaunt or here is only female session. However, we cannot find guys at there. Then, guys hate pancakes? well, my answer is NO.



Ok. This is normal picture of korean restaurant. Now we can find couple of guys in this restaurnt. However, the number of the male customers is still relatively small than female customers. Why this kind of phenomena happens in Korea?

I asked some of my guy friends and they said that they cannot go fancy restaurant and cafe with only guy friends. They should go there with female friend or not. Because of that reason one of my senior cannot go pasta restaurant for an year, because he deosn't have girlfriend.

Well, people thinks guy-guy couple come to the fancy restaunt, which seems to be dating, then they night assume that guys coulple are gays. And even though one is straight, he is afraid of that kind of thinking of people. However, nobody thinks woman-woman couple as resbian. Why this phenomena happens in korea? Isn't it Korean Fetish?

Brain storming for korean fetish!


When I got this project early in this semester, I have numerous ideas of korean fetish. It's because I spent my junior year in the US, so I realized something very natural for me could be very weird to other foreigners.


First fetishism that I realize is Korean Food. Well, most of korean foods are very healthy and delicious. However, I think some of them could be disgusting to foriegner. The live octopus (Picture) is one of the good examples.



The other fetishism in korea can be some cultural aspect in korean army. As you know, all of korean guys should be spent there time in army about two years. This military duty has created unique culture among korean male society. As a female student in this society, I found that my guy friends become a little bit different after they came back from their military duty. Because I am a woman, so I don't know what exactly happened their two years times, but(!) something disunderstandable situation has happened at there, and it is very excessive.

Also, there is another topic that I want to examine, which is different place that korean guys and girl spend there time. Whenever I visit fancy cafe or restaurant, 80% of customers at there are female. I always have question. Where Are Guys In This Country?
Do you know where they are? Then, please answer my question. Actually, this topic is what I think very weird phenomenon in Korea, and what I really want to handle with. However, it is still mystery to me as well.
What is, and Why is Korean Society?
