Japanese porn stars coming to a Korean soap opera.

Man, that title will bring me a ton of hits. All K-Pop, via Extra! Korea, says that three Japanese AV stars will appear in a Korean drama called Korean Classroom. Says All K-Pop of Sora Aoi, one of the stars,
this is strictly a fully-clothed drama as she continues to work hard to distance herself from the AV field. The production for Korean Classroom was completed last July (2008) and will be on local cable channels in May.

They will play attractive exchange students who fall for Korean men. Of course. LOL at the first line of Aoi's Wikipedia page.

I've seen her "DJ" in a Tokyo club some years ago. Too cute to be in AV and she's working her way out of the industry accordingly.

"They will play attractive exchange students who fall for Korean men. Of course."

More like... "no sh*t". Of COURSE they should make Korean men look good on Korean cable TV. Why is the sky blue? The Earth round? And why are Korean men desired by women in Korea? Gee... maybe it's because the overwhelming majority of them aren't preoccupied with worshiping white men. Has that even occured to you, or are you just lost in your expat bubble?

If it did, you white American male expats in Korea wouldn't be making all this rancid wine with your sour grapes.

And what obligates Koreans to pay lip service to you, when everything outside of Korea is tailor-made to pander to your white male sexual ego? Should they have paired Sora Aoi with some blonde, blue-eyed chode? Please. If you want to see some of the usual All-American 'me love you long-time' Orientalist fantasies - just pop in a Hollywood movie/DVD that pairs up the white dude with an Asian girl. Then qwitcherbitchin', and call it a day.

This suspiciously convenient myopia displayed by white men in Asia never ceases to amuse me. I guess they're just so used to the Hollywood idea of white males being sexual Adonises that they can't wrap their mind around the inalienable fact that there are parts of the world where they are not sexual top dog.

Almost all Hollywood media executives are old Whites and Jews, so they make their action heroes and male sex symbols in their own image. Korea does the same with theirs. Oh well, a tit-for-tat?

The day white American men have any moral weight to complain about the deification of Korean men in Korean media is the day their own American movie industry stops deifying white men and using Asian women as the sexual foil, while simultaneously stereotyping or excluding Asian men.
