Korean Massage Parlors Can No Longer Give A “Helping Hand”

From the Chosun:

Police made clear their zero tolerance in enforcing Korea’s new anti-prostitution laws in the first bust of an establishment offering manual sexual favors.

The Seoul Central District Public Prosecutors’ Office on Wednesday booked the owner of a sports massage parlor in Dogok-dong in Seoul’s Gangnam-gu district for violating the Special Law on Prostitution. The owner, identified as Chung, employed some 20 women offering manual relief, colloquially known as hand jobs, to customers at W60,000.

This is the first time police have charged someone for involvement in such acts since the Special Law on Prostitution came into force on Sept. 23.

What’s next for this great prostitution crackdown? The barber shops?
