Kim Jong Un's pleasure women

[Lacunae_Matata]

I think I speak for many people: WTH?

Wiki on the phenomenon.

The Gippeumjo is a collection of groups of approximately 2,000 women and girls between the ages of 13 and 40 (although most are believed to be between 18 and 25), which are maintained by the head of state of North Korea for the purpose of providing pleasure and entertainment for high-ranking Workers’ Party of Korea officials and their families, as well as occasionally also distinguished guests.

Kim Il-sung is believed to have established this corps of women in the belief that having sexual relations with young women would have the effect of enhancing his life force, or gi

err…

So… sex slaves by any other name

It’ll be more ironic and equally as accurate to call them “comfort women”

North Korea’s leader Kim Jong Un receives power, money from his father, except one thing… Pleasure Women…Kim Jong Il and Kim Jong Un selected the Pleasure Group women themselves. The women were served at secret parties, and even dance naked, and if they are in the leaders’ favor, they give bed service.

What is the source of your information and how do we know it’s true?

Hmm. I don’t wish to minimize the outrageousness of having a corps of sex slaves, but my hackles always raise when I see the phrasing: “equally as.”

“Equally accurate” works just fine, without the “as.”

Also: Kim Jong Un is a dick.

The Wiki article doesn’t say anything about coercion, and mentions them being married off to what passes for the NK elite. Not that I think that the NK government would hesitate to use coercion, but regular meals in a starving nation and a high ranking marriage could easily be the women’s motivation for cooperating, not force.

What the heck is a ‘huckle bone’?

Also, I would like to thank the OP for bringing to my attention that there is corruption among the leadership of North Korea. I had no idea this was the case, and I promise from now on that my tourist dollars will go elsewhere.

Especially the 13 year olds.

I think it’s the reason Twain’s books get banned from schools.

Actually, those under 17 weren’t assigned sexual duties.
Source? A escaped girl who was a pleasure woman at 15

And the question I was asking wasn’t “is what is going on scummy, unethical and exploitative”; it obviously is. I was asking “are they all actually slaves?”

I suspect they’re naive young girls from Eastern Europe and the CIS, lured to Moscow with promises of becoming highly-paid models and then drugged and transshipped to Pyong Yang. :eek:

By “huckle-bone,” I think they mean “hip bone.”

Where did that article come from, anyway? Are there anti–North Korean groups out there paying spammers to discredit the Communist regime? :dubious:

Theoretically those girls can marry whoever they want. In fact there is a word that refers to a man that has been chosen by one of these girls. Supposedly if you are chosen you can’t say no.

@oclock

Pleasure Group women need to be 156cm tall when 16 years old, 160 at 20, 162 or higher when 24 years old.

Don’t most women stop gaining height around 16? Certainly they don’t get measurably taller between 20 and 24.

@oclock

The lower body huckle bone to heel need to be 5cm taller than the sitting height.

Defined by sitting on the ground, I guess? Sitting height with a chair is always taller than hip/huckle height.

Thanks to this thread, I dreamed about North Korea last night. It was right next to Peterborough, Ontario.

No sex, though.
