By I always wondered how the juicy girls received their drugs and now I know how:
The wives of two U.S. soldiers told a panel of South Korean judges on Friday that they didn’t try to smuggle methamphetamine into the country by mail, though one of the women admitted to using the drug in South Korea.
According to court documents, Irine Melendy signed for a package that arrived from the Philippines at a friend’s house in Uijeongbu in March.
The court documents said the package contained fish, clothes and 15.1 grams of methamphetamine hidden in the bottom of some slippers.
Melendy, a 25-year-old who has been married to a U.S. soldier for nearly six years, said she didn’t know what was in the package and signed for it at a friend’s request.
“It was a big mistake,†she told Stars and Stripes.
That friend, Warren Alega, is in jail and on trial for drug smuggling charges along with Castro Aldwin, both of whom will testify when the women’s case reconvenes next week. The men live and work in South Korea and have no apparent connection to the U.S. military.
What is really jacked up about this is that one of the wives on trial is eight months pregnant and the Korean investigators took hair samples and found evidence that they both may have taken drugs. It is bad enough to be possibly caught up in drug smuggling much less taking drugs while pregnant. It will interesting to see how this turns out.Â

I hear a lot about these "Juicy Girls" in the blogs from Seoul. Who or what are they?

Wes; "Juicy Girls" in the 80s and early 90s were normally nice young korean girls that worked in GI bars outside the base. I knew one that was there because her father had taken a loan from the club to put his son through collage. Her job was to work for the club to pay the loan off. She didn't even know how to apply make-up yet.
The ones in the late 90s till 2004 were third country girls from mostly the Philippines and Russia. Korea would import them on entertainment visa's. They work and send money home while looking for a GI willing to marry them. I've heard that the korean guy's love the Russian girls.
Haven't been back since 04 but hear the Russian girls are nolonger there. Something about the Russian Mob.
Your not missing anything Wes. A "shortime" with a Korean in the 80"s was around $20.00. US DOLLARS. In 04 with a Russian it was around $200.00 US DOLLARS!
Not judging, just stating common experiences over the years.

Again. If the soldiers were not allowed to marry the prostitutes, this would not be a USFK issue.
Who tricked these men into believing a whore would make a good wife and mother?
