Not really sure. my last trip to Seoul had me walking through the pink district and outside of that being hit up on the street if I was looking.

Seoul is infested with thousands of red neon crosses that make my Bible belt area look like rank amameture. Population is vastly different so maybe an adjusted count might put my area in the running.

I'm gonna guess that videos compared to prostitution is a different situation. Japan doesn't look down on porn stars who have made it into prime time TV ... I'd imagine that Korea does though.

Note: I've been wondering why Korean porn on the tubes is mostly homemade.

I have no fucking idea, aside from maybe it's because of them being too conservative.

Because South Korea is democratic nation thanks to a shit ton of our dead or dying vets. Because we had the good will to help them establish a system of Government like ours. Because they are now a flourishing nation thanks to the sacrifice of so many of our brave young men and women. Why are Korean women under-represented in porn? Maybe the better question is why are American women over-represented in porn?

Most of it is tied to Korean government policies.

  1. It's illegal to make, except for like super softcore stuff heavily regulated

  2. Korea is attempting to not become Japan and have lots of weird fetish stuff (by suppressing it)

  3. Christians have become the dominate political force in korea and look heavily down on porn

  4. Brothels are everywhere in Korea and frequented by soldiers and businessmen (it's not unheard of for an afterwork dinner to become an afterwork brothel visit (typically a kind of party room))

  5. Korea has internet I.D.s for everyone, no anonymous internet use really. Which means the internet porn ban is tied to names and many don't know how to bypass it.

So making porn is basically the most shameful thing for a girl to do. And consuming porn requires jumping through hoops and hiding it. Which is also why upskirt porn and toilet cams are so common in Korea, it's too easy to justify since porn is already a dirty crime. Molestation is also super common in Korea, particularly on subways. So Korean porn stars either live in Japan or America and likely grew up there. Girls that would in America go into porn, in Korea would become some form of prostitute; massage parlor, kiss room, whiskey bar, barbershop, windowshop, Daeddal Rooms, Delivery, Full Salons, Norebangs, Room Salons.

So the main place to find Korean porn is actually homemade stuff on tumblr.

I thought a large percentage of japanese porn actresses were korean, filipino, or vietnamese. Sort of form an underclass in japan and end up in the sex industry doing that or fashion health.
