The Truth About the Nightclub Harassment Video: Part 3



They wanted to commit the "perfect" crime, but they were not able to pull it off. Because no matter how "perfect" it seemed to them, they were not able to get away with what they did. The video is out there for everyone to see in Korea, America, and the rest of the world. And even if they aren't recognized, they will continue to live with this in their minds. It wouldn't be that hard for someone who knew them casually to recognize their voice and what was shown of their faces and put two and two together. The video they had taken for their own pleasure will always be a source of fear, regret, and shame, so in their original purpose, they failed because in the end, they did not get a video that they could enjoy. Every time they watch the video, they will be reminded of that night and  what happened in the aftermath.

After that night, I'm sure the young Korean woman in the video woke up in a haze with a sense of deep pain over something she did not remember. It was a rude jolt in a life that was already depressing. That is why she had drunken herself to a stupor and that is why the video makers chose her to target for their video. She was a lone, drunk woman who would not have put up a lot of resistance. She would not have the wits or defenses to be able to, so these guys could go through with their plan and get the "perfect" shot for the fetish video. But drunken hazes are interesting because sometimes, people do remember little bits and pieces after a while. But who knows how this thing will turn out?

The reason that these guys were able to make such a video is because they are sociopaths. They lack a sense of moral responsibility and social conscience. They are psychopathic, showing extreme egocentricity and failure to learn from experience. This video does show them doing something that is amoral and antisocial. They certainly did something criminal by sexually harassing that young woman. They were able to do all of this because they were extremely selfish to the point where they could dismiss the humanity of another person, in this case, a young, drunk Korean woman. Basically, their life is about getting what they want without regard to how it affects other people. Other people do not have value unless they can give them something that they desire. Other people are props in their life that they can do with as they please. This is the mentality that you would have to have in order to make a video like this. But now, these guys are scared because their own sense of survival is being threatened. Nothing matter until it affects THEM on a certain level. They have the right to do as they please however it affects other people, but when something affects them and keeps them from doing what they want, there is a problem.

To be honest, I really don't think the backlash from this video will turn them into saints overnight. I think they will be more careful in what they choose to do in public. But otherwise, they will continue to be the same selfish bastards that made this video. Immature, whiny kvetchpats who will continue to go on to Dave's ESL and express their sociopathy to the world wide web. There, they will find like-minded compatriots to egg them on in their disgusting bashing and degradation of Korea. That's what's wrong with the whole kvetchpat scene. Instead of helping eachother out to make the most out of their time in Korea, they really bring out the worst in eachother by encouraging eachother to hate and bash Korea. Yet they wonder why they continue to have such a horrible time? Not a hotbed of geniuses. That's for sure. What they can't face is that their problems in Korea are largely due to their own dysfunction, their own inability to adapt to a different culture and language and life as whole. Because they come from multi-racial countries, they are under the illusion that it somehow makes them progressive and open-minded when the truth is that they have only experienced diversity on a shallow level. They don't really understand other cultures or races. Because they have seen other races in person does not make them an expert on diversity more than a Korean person who lives in Itaewon an expert on other countries. The truth is that their understanding of multiculturalism is very superficial like a tourist who buys trinkets from a gift shop and believes that it gives him great insight into that culture. No. You've experienced other cultures as a CONSUMER, not a true student.


That's the whole problem with kvetchpats. They come to Korea with a consumerist mentality. What can I get, get, get in Korea. And when Korea does not give them everything they want, they throw a hissy fit. It's just pure selfishness, plain and simple. Korea has to give them everything that they demand, but they have no responsibility to respect or understand its culture, language, and people. Sounds like a fair deal there. The real problem is that they lack the maturity and personal responsibility to adapt to a different culture. They think that everything should be handed to them and that they shouldn't have to put forth any effort. The real truth is that Koreans don't have to be nice to them, trying to understand them when they don't speak the language. A lot of kvetchpats use this as an excuse to not learn Korean and blame it as the source of their own lack of motivation. They also say how useless it is for them to learn when they are the ones relying on their Korean girlfriends, friends, coworkers, and strangers to translate in various situations. I guarantee you that they wouldn't feel so entitled if they had to deal with a society that looked harshly upon those who  did not speak the language well as many English speaking countries do. You have a country where the main language is Korean. You need to communicate with Koreans, most of whom do not speak fluent English. You would think that is a no-brainer, right? But the most diehard kvetchpats will continue to make excuses, excuses because they are lazy and self-entitled and another year will pass in Korea and another and another. They don't grow. They don't really learn anything from their time in Korea. They are just living as perpetual tourists in a country where they expect to be treated like Koreans while getting all the foreigner privileges with none of the Korean responsibilities. They are wasting their lives with one excuse after another. All the while, their bitterness continues to grow. The longer they stay in Korea, the more bitter they get. And they falsely believe that it has something to do with Korea. Never taking responsibility for the lives they have created. They could always take a plane and leave, but then they would no longer have Korea to blame and actually have to take responsibility for their lives. Next . . .
