Are Korean men that much in demand? There is an interesting article on the Chosun Ilbo.

According to a statement from the Seoul Metropolitan Police on Wednesday, a 36-year-old Korean man being identified by his last name Kim is being held by Chinese authorities under suspicion of hiring male hosts to work at his sex bar. Nine men who worked at the bar have been booked here but not detained. It is alleged that Kim earned some 696,000 Yuan (W83.5 million; US$1=W956) in illegal profits through his business venture that catered to Chinese women and Korean female tourists between December of last year and February of this year. Police say that Kim employed his own style of "Korean Wave marketing": proudly noting on the handbills and Internet ads that the men were Korean.

A police insider says, "The male workers would either perform a nude show, or perform various other kinds of lewd acts using their naked bodies." The establishment was uncovered by Chinese public security officials in February, and the owner is currently being tried, while the employees were deported after serving 15-30 days in prison. Police say that they have received a statement from Kim that he even had a recruiter to bring Korean men and Korean Chinese to work at his bar. Police are currently trying to locate the man.

I think men like this would be called "제비족." The "제비" portion of this word means "swallow" (as in the bird species). I'm not sure about the last part of the word.

It's kind of like a male prostitute - but maybe more like a male version of a juicy girl. A 제비족 typically works at what Koreans call a cabaret. I don't think it's like a traditional cabaret in the western world's way of thinking - I think it's just one of those English words that Koreans have adopted that doesn't mean the same thing in the English speaking world - kind of like the word "room salon."

Women can go there and for a price, be accompanied by a young man who will entertain them with songs, jokes, dancing - and maybe even a little hanky panky if so desired.
