Yes, both parents from Kyeongsangdo. Already booked my KTX tickets for Seol to head to my grandparents place, which should be enough cultural reference to establish the fact that I am indeed a local.

I'm 31. You said you weren't going to respond if I was a foreigner.
Also, you asked me "where am I going to be in Seoul?" and that "you hang out at the same places as [us] (sic)" which makes me question your command of the Korean language...
I'm friends with a bunch of NYU grads here, but I take it you didn't hang out with the KISO kids there?
I do recall seeing one of your pics you posted several years back and thought you were a tallish, interesting dude (compared to the typicaly dorky Asian stereotype) so I wouldn't be surprised if anything you post here is true, just wanted to see what your MO is.
p.s. I don't care about this board and I'm not going to out you or make it awkard IRL so don't be shy.

H = no clue
S = Syndrome?
J = no clue
M = Mass?
C = no clue
B = no clue...maybe B1?
H2 = someone tried to recruit me to go there but I passed
O = still very solid if you are in the VIP area. It is still the go-to club for models.
Officetel in Seolleung means you are surrounded by massage shops and anmas - do you frequent them?
You say "all walks of life." I find it hard to believe you're getting the top end (models, celebrities, rich girls, international students) without a car and living in an officetel, seeing as how superficial and gold-diggerish those types of girls tend to be. But maybe you're just doing "one-night", but then those girls are also generally not down for that and demand at least one dinner date first :) (presumably, starting off with you picking them up in your BMW/Audi/Benz/Porsche/LR)
I want to know what your end game is. How do you get these girls to look past your lack of car and housing situation? Do you awe them with your NYU degree and consulting job (which admittedly will take you far in Korea)? Are these mostly short flings or are these girls actually wanting to get married?

Considering a 328i will run you about 55K after tax and a 528i 75k after tax, these are not cheap cars here.
Consider the starting salary at a top-tier company like Samsung Electronics is about 35-40K/year, toping out at about 110k after 20 years of service (unless you are tapped for executive), with comparable housing prices as New York, few people can afford to spend 75k on a car.
If you're starting off at a 2nd tier corporate, starting salary will be just under 30K/year. Good luck with that.
Sseulleung is famous for their "extracurricular" activities, the quality of which would tempt most men.

This is the only part of NYUUG's schitck that I can criticize at this point. Even a skinny white English teacher 1 month into the country can find his way into any club in Korea with little or no effort.

Back in the day, the first Western style club in Korea was called "Circle." There, door entrance was very strict, and very few foreigners were admitted entrance. The backpack carrying English teachers were shunned.
Now, with intense competition among clubs, the clubs are full of the backpack carrying Uniqlo wearing English teachers.
this guy knows wassup. he is from a very upscale neighborhood, albeit in one with way too many foreigners for my taste. i prefer to stay south of the river.
