As for the Expat and homosexual in South Korea-Network, Assassin

You probably already don't have the first one,"I told him

My teacher in Korea once told me that he had never met a gay person beforeYou didn't look convinced. In Korea, the gay scene is still pretty it is hidden, despite the fact that this year in Seoul (South Korea) there was a Festival of culture of homosexuals. I knew a gay man when I was an exchange student at the National University of the arts in the Republic of Korea. He's gay in the school of arts. I was interested in learning more about the scene from an insiders point of view, so a couple of weeks ago I had an interview with an English and gay teacher and the United States about his reflections on homosexuality, in South Korea, and about a foreigner's experience in the gay scene and the Korean language. I lived in North Seoul for a year and a half, and recently moved to the city center. Just for what it's like to be gay in Korea versus America? Do you consider it necessary to hide your sexuality? I don't have to hide, but I have to be more careful, especially since I'm a teacher. It doesn't matter if you have a rainbow sticker in your car, or if you are the leader of a gay group at school. In Korea, it is the realm of the unknown, and it is still very closed. Do you feel that in your daily life or just at work, you need to be more restrained about your sexuality? Only in certain situations. For example, I can't tell my boss that I will run, or someone who went to a meeting, but to be honest, I also don't talk about it with my boss and the United States.

One is an outsider and the other is Korean.

My old school was much bigger, and almost all the teachers that foreigners knew were foreign.

In the end, I talked to some Korean teachers, which was fun because they didn't believe in me at first. They are like this:"What? Seriously.

No, you're wrong.

You're wrong, not that I'm not sure, but I never thought you were.

It's good to laugh at yourself, Yes, of course, and I see it from time to time.

It's not a problem at all, but you don't trust them.

In the United States, it is much easier to judge how a person reacts from the start. I've heard stories about foreigners who are leaders, and Koreans who were fired as a result.

I don't want to take any chances.

I am a foreigner in this country, it would be different if I were a citizen and protected my rights. Yes, I Used to work with him in Korean from a neighbor and tell him if I was gay. That, of course, was something she didn't know. She asked me if that would be a problem.

Many of my gay friends are teachers here

You can stop and talk to him.

And he said:"No, I've never met a gay person before."He was so relaxed that I didn't think much of what they were doing.

It's always a joke to ask when I pick up the phone at a gay bar.

It looks like my girlfriend and I were there.

I need to dance, or go to a party. Eventually you'll want to go somewhere, and I think:"Sorry, I have a date."He says,"Oh, really. You have an appointment. Well, good luck to you. It will be later. He's a real friend. He wasn't at all uncomfortable around me, and I appreciate that. In Korea, everything is a miracle - always a guy. Do you have a girlfriend?"How can you answer when someone asks you if you have a girlfriend? Must to say that there is. It's funny, because my students often ask most adults. My older children are both older and younger. Just once, and one of them said:"Professor, they're all alone, aren't they? And I said:"What do you mean by 'on your own'? I'm with all of you in class.

I'm trying to get them to practice more.

Like,"Oh, no girlfriend."And another one, Vita. I had to bite my tongue to laugh. At first no, no, but then I got a little depressed to think about it. No, not because I'm a guest in this country.

I won't stay here forever, so I try to respect the local culture as much as possible.

If this happened in the United States, I would be very upset. I am one of the citizens there. But since I am a guest here, I am not trying to impose my values on others. Most of the time I do the same things that I do at home, I go to the club, to the bar, to meetings, it's harder to date. For example, in the house there is a connection between friends, as well as LGBT groups, but all this very secret."In Seoul, South Korea, there are one of two places for gay people. Itaewon is all inclusive to attract foreigners and Koreans, but it's so small. There is only one everything-all bars, clubs and restaurants, while Jingo, catering, etc. in Korean, we have more than the locals. However, in many places Jingo does not allow strangers, unless I am one Korean, and most of my friends are gay in Korean, or Dating, or grew up in the US, so we do not know this area. I talked to them, and they invited me along the way. They are like, I know places that haven't gone away, but they have to come with me so I can show you where it is. Yes, for example, in the Chelsea district of new York, there are signs outside gay clubs. There are Queens, while in this particular case, Jingo) there is little or no gap between the bar and the gay person and the opposite sex. Maybe there is a fair sign that knows about it, maybe just spends without thinking about it. My God, it's so small. And then, no matter how little sense there is in this game. There are three main ways to meet guys. At first, you can get to know the guys through your friends, but that doesn't happen very often. Secondly, you can go to bars and clubs, but he gets old after a year, when he constantly comes to the house with the smell of smoke, and alcohol and most of the guys are just interested in the stand at night. Yes, this is the only meat market that takes stones. And the third option is to use a phone app - the popular pair of Grindr, Jack d e and cross-section diagram. Actually, I met a couple of people. They're your friends now. But it's still weird. The app's laughter tells us how physically close we are to the person we are talking to. I use them because they are scary.

There are many types that you want to apply for, but there are other people who are interested in them on the date.

Basically, it's like an online meat market. On the other hand, there are sports Championships in the United States - these are gay singer groups, men's camps for gays, men's gay walks, competing organizations, and there are also gay neighborhoods. There are communities with wide ones that are not hidden.

You can easily approach it from someone who is interested in it, but in Korea it can only be done in a gay-only zone that is limited to just a few bars and clubs, or for an online application.

In addition, in the United States and within each gay community, there are many different personalities, and in Korea, many people refer to themselves as restricted. For example, they are very feminine, and just like that. I have also met such people in the United States, but in the US I have also encountered tons of different types of gay men: bright and action-Packed for men, types of theater, art, etc. In South Korea, we can see friendly gay men, in extreme cases, either very reserved and cautious, or very strong and proud. It is often said that in a country where gayness is taboo, those who cannot hide the leaders for the rest of the world groups. There are a lot of Koreans, but the interval is short, or maybe it's just a reluctance to talk about it. Yes, it doesn't upset me.

My motto is that you must do what you want.

If you want to put on some makeup, get up and get up. If you have long, athletic and all-female things, it's really cool.

Very comfortable with who you are.

In South Korea, I think many men feel pressured to conform to how they should act. Many people are positive and open. I learned that the aliens are not connected to the ceiling. However, I have noticed that many foreign gay men seem to be available. They can be the reason for a pause or escape from the ex. It's frustrating because I live here and I want someone serious. Many of you have come to Korea more interested in traveling and having a good time, and you don't want to be attached to a guy. Maybe I'm too complicated. You don't have to laugh, either. And when it comes to discrimination in certain types, if You prefer meetings in statements, for example, international only in Korean. I don't know, some people may like one type more than others, but if you have an opportunity to get together and love that person, and it's not a sketch ball, go in front of you, instead of getting attached to a particular type. It is strange to see that the exposure of the form is so amazing. There are many stereotypes, and the same applies to United STATES and, to some extent, to THEM.

There are many people who do not come into contact with people who are different from those who are not.

For example, when the Korean actor Suk Chun Hong entered the house, lost all the sponsors and started running restaurants.

I read in an online article and it said that people often talk about your restaurant and harass you to come. Some have tried to warn me more than anything about apankhariam's AIDS if you eat in a restaurant. By the way, my teacher Molly was Korean, he was born and raised in Seoul, South Korea. He admitted that for many years it would have been the wrong bizarre culture, because information was not available when I was in high school, most of it he came from the Western bizarre culture, like a stone wall. You are looking for gender equality,"he said. (And it's still a battle in us). Apart from South Korea, the mentality is that if you marry someone who can support the family, and if You create children, whether you like it or not, and with whom, if you are married. Whether they are straight or gay, it is their responsibility to have children and continue the family line. More in education this should allow a pussy from Korea, they thought,"Hey, wait."I don't have to do this.
