Not openly spoken truth in Korea Part 1
: Today, I want to talk about taking the credit(borrowing money with interest) not from Bank but from a private sector. And also about Dabang... slightly... And then later, I will write about Sex Industry in Korea.
1 | Very usual cards you see on the street. |
The following business card sized ads are on the money loan from a private sector including small companies and persons. The interest rate is so high such as more than 15% to 40%. You can see these kinds of Ads so many times in Korea. This is a kind of last resort to a cornered person who desperately seeks money for an urgent need.
Usual Ads on the street
As you expected, there are so many entities... or companies... for this. Even there are majors such as "Rush and Cash", "Lead Corp", "Easy Load" and so on. Their capitals are from Japan, which I have to admit that the economic owner of Korea is Japan and the political and military owner is USA.... Anyway, why do you think there are so many companies for loan??? Yes, because the life of ordinary people in Korea is really hard... Even now some people live like slaves....

2 | Ticket Dabang |
Dabang(다방, 茶房) means "Tea Room" in Korean. Originally it was place for chatting and meeting for people in Korea. What we expect from the place is a pretty waitress serving a cup of coffee. That time we used 'instant coffee' with Cream and sugar, we called it 'Dabang Coffee'.
But we have another kind of Dabang, which is called 'Ticket Dabang'. It's a nominally coffee delivery service by a woman. Actually it's a kind of prostitution. When you want to do it, you say, 'I want to buy a ticket'. Therefore we call it 'ticket dabang'. You can see how it works by seeing the movie. You can meet those Dabangs even now.
