About 10 years ago, I got to know one lady outside the spa. I also got to know her working friends. It wasn't a nonstop porno, far from it. In a way I was their Uber driver before Uber really was a thing. Hate to bust your fantasy bubble. Yes I got some but it wasn't what most of you guys think, also you better like Korean food.
I am yet to meet a single Korean lady who has been trafficked, the way it is described in the news. Yes, they can pay big buck to get into the country, usually because the princess wants a 1st class tickets. They pay their own way. 95% did this work back in Korea. The issue is when they get into their 30's they are way too old back in Korea. America and the UK are the next best bets. When they are in their 30's they work in the big cities. As they get older they move to the burbs. If they stay in the industry, most want to own their own shop at some time. The smart ones are here to make a 7 figure bank roll to retire in their 50's back to Korea. It is rare but a few are really smart about this.
I have found way too many piss away their money at the casinos. On stupid designer handbags and expensive watches. A lot spend really big bucks on plastic surgery and plenty of money on getting their hair done. A few get into the party scene and spend massive amounts of money on coke. Unless I am insane, trafficked women are NOT blowing $5,000 on a weekend in AC. Walking around with $7,000 watches. If someone pisses them off in a shop, they will walk out the door at a moments notice. Not saying they like their job but, who really likes their job if they aren't getting pay well. If she is popular she can move to any major city and get a new job within a week. Taking a 3-4 week vacation isn't a problem. Then there is April 15th, they didn't seem to be too stressed out.
What you'll find is the smart and professional ladies will travel to work at the busy shops. They fight to get into them. The very opposite of being trafficked. I am not saying it is a media lie but for a lazy media it just is a quick and easy story that grabs headlines.
