There’s something about Korean hotels….I always have weird stories whenever I go.
My first story is from a few years ago. I was standing in front of the Lotte Hotel in Jamshil when some REALLy old Asian man (me thinks he was Japanese) came up to me. I was probably around….20? At the time so by in no way did I look like a prostitute. BUT…the old man totally thought I was. He came up to me and literally said “How much?”. I flipped out of course.
I was offended…..and of course ROYALLY pissed off.
Then, about a week ago I went to the Hilton Hotel for work. After my work event had finished, I stood outside the hotel with a bunch of AV equipment waiting for my co-worker to bring her car from the parking lot.
There were 3 guys standing next to me (who had been obviously drinking) and chitchatting. Then, two of the guys went away and just one guy was left behind. He slowly crept up next to me and asked me a bunch of questions.
Once he started asking me about the area I live in, I mentioned I wasn’t a native Korean. That I was born in America and moved here a few months ago. He interest was more piqued. The best part was that he said “마음에 드러요”, which I think is the Korean equivalent to a pick up line.
I smiled at the novelty and told him I had a boyfriend. Then a bunch of his coworkers bumrushed him and he left in a cab with them.
If you are looking for crazy experiences with Korean men….go chill at a hotel.
