Korea just got a little pornier
by javabeans
Newsen reports that Penthouse is coming to Korea. Porn lovers rejoice!
Penthouse Media Group has made a contract to enter into an exclusive license with Korea’s own adult media corporation, N Tree Media. This new media enterprise between the two groups marks a first step in advancing into the large potential Asian adult entertainment market, as a stepping stone to advancing into China, Hong Kong, Singapore, Taiwan, and Malaysia.
The licensing agreement will span both on- and offline spheres, joining with Penthouse Group to franchise its merchandising, which includes broadcast entertainment, lingerie, jewelry and other items, in addition to adult movies and photos.
Personally, I’d thought Korea was doing just fine manufacturing its own pornography without the Americans lending a hand (insert immature snicker here), but apparently that’s not the case. What good is it being the world’s most wired society and the “bandwidth capital of the world” if you can’t get your porn the new old-fashioned way — through the interwebs?
SONG OF THE DAY
Tim – “사랑한 만큼” (as much as I love you), from his latest (fourth) album. The title comes from the lyrics, which say, “Please don’t worry about me… I’ll forget about you… It’ll just hurt me as much as I love you” (meaning the intensity of his pain is equal to his love). [ zShare download ]

First! Hahaha.... Hmmm... I didn't know that Korea manufactures its own porno... I don't think Malaysia will welcome this with open arms though... We're a pretty conservative lot...

Malaysia is conservative (which in a way is good, but there's a lot that's going on behind the curtains especially with pirated vcds) but we have Playboy mag coming into our country officially.. so yeah, not sure how the government will react to it... but if they do, its sad to see countries paving way to legalise porn.....

Uh, Anonymous, there was already a Korean who had a sex tape that "ruined her career". Sorry, but you can't blame that on America.

Lol, I don't get all the Park Jin Young hate. The man's good at what he does, which is churning out successful pop stars and producing extremely popular music. Sure, he's not exactly a looker, but I miss the days when that didn't automatically mean he'd never have a singing career. He also speaks english fluently and has a better grasp of the US market than any other kpop producers-moguls. Yeah he's a little creepy and I don't love his artists (Wonder Girls, blergh) but I respect his accomplishments. I know you're joking, but Rain's failed US tour was completely his own doing, since Rain left JYPE before the rash of bad promo and canceled concerts.
