Pathetic Koreans and Vietnamese alike

This woman Nga is nothing more than a pimp, I am vietnamese and I can hear her telling and primping up a Korean "PhD" candidate. Puhleeze! How can a person justify and live with oneself by selling her own people. The parents are also willing to sell their own children as well. Then of course we have a "madame" involved, utterly animalistic culture my people has turned into. Utterly shameless when people listen to this story and read other similar to this. Nevermind the poor treatments vietnamese women were treated in Korea. Divorce, suicides, beating and humiliation, then of course they only want male children, which only further deepens their problems and having to buy women. No wonder young and educated Korean, chinese, taiwanese women do not want to marry these men. Shame on all parties.
