You have produced/filmed some of the most interesting videos regarding SK neighborhoods. Thank you for keeping it real.
I will keep making these videos in SK and then in the rest of the world! Share the videos with your friends, it will really help me a lot 👊
Was stationed there with the US Army in 2003. The first street you drove up after turning off the main street through Itaewon was Hooker Hill. The entire street was lined with Russian and Korean girls (not lady boys). They would run out into the street and try to pull you into their “bars”. It was a great time to be alive 😁
Sounds like a great time to be alive! I imagine Seoul was a lot different 18 years ago, i'd pay a lot of money to be able to travel back and see how things have changed! Would you ever come back to Seoul? 👊
@@PirateDan Absolutely! I’d love to return and learn more about Korean culture now that I’m a bit more mature and older. Back then all we cared about was partying. Regardless, I love South Korea and I’m grateful for having the opportunity to live there for 12 months.
@@TacoTot yeah i understand what you mean, i was the same.. i came here 4 years ago and partied for a month, now i can enjoy the culture more
@@PirateDan I was stationed in Korea from '98 to '00. Partied my ass off every weekend in Itaewon. Usually till 9 or 10am in the morning. I actually visited Seoul for three nights in 2017. Went back to Itaewon for two nights. My last night there, I partied till 6am then I had to leave to make it to the airport in time. So wasted I went to the wrong airport, lol. I still made my flight though. Hooker Hill was dead. King Club was not even open. Everything died over there because the US Army moved further south. I will deff be back before I die.
I was there in 98. Good night is starting at the clubs, then doing a thunder run up hooker hill. Start at the bottom where the burgerking was, stopping at every drinky girl bar along the way for a kettle. When you hit Polly's kettle house, that's the turn-around. Head back down on the other side of the street. Since those were the uglier girls, they were much prettier by the time you got to them.
While in the US Army, I played in a Korean Rock n Roll band on Hooker Hill in Iteawon from '68 - '70. There were 6 main clubs that catered to the American GI's. My band eventually became rather famous in Korea. We played 7 nights a week. It was the best time of my life.
I was stationed in Korea 2001-2003. That whole hill used to be filled with hooker bars. Weren't any trans clubs. Place was crazy from noon until 2am Friday through Sunday.
Oh,,,my beloved Hooker Hill. I called myself the unofficial tour guide, when Newbies came into country. I was stationed there 85-87. That HILL was full of people. Taxis, GI's and bar girls standing outside, and the hookers you had to fight off. They would physically grab you, try to lure you in their dark alleyway. Place was boppin full of Rock and Country Bars. At the top was our Kettle shop to get our Kettle of SOJU. The Bastard Club your in front of was back then, the HEAVY METAL CLUB. Probably biggest and post popular at the time , along with THE KING CLUB..right up the street.
crazy !!! now it's a different world
The hill looks familiar but I recall it dead ending at the top. Was there 80 - 83 was stationed south of Seoul(Anjeong-ri) but spent many weekends in Itaewon drinking OB Beer. The hill looked about the same then as it does in this video. The Silver Waves club right across the street from the bastard club-or heavy metal club back then. All I recall about the Silver Waves was they played music at about 3db above pain.
relize this was done 2 years ago and they are wearing mask outside but the police check point they didnt say anything about them not wering them in the car together. covid was a joke to ruin peoles lives. and i was there in 84-85 google maps is 2015 shows the pearl bar still there. which was there in 84
and the king club was there my first time there a friend of mine took his wife and they carded her and she was like 30 something
remember the flower shop.
You're obviously not attracting the usual Seoul tourism crowd. Well done - it was great to spend quality time with you chaps!
In South Korea now I’m stationed at camp Casey, loving the place but we are forbidden to go to hooker hill and massage parlors sad boy hours
“If found this hill while I was looking for a restaurant”
"oh, erm, i thought this was a nightclub with all the bright lights, sorry officer i won't come again" 👊
The old hill was dark with really dangerous pavement, especially when icy. I was walking up the hill with some round-eye girls, there was a country-and-western bar at the top, when I got grabbed. My friends yelled at the hookers that I had paid for them, the hooker started yelling in broken English that they were bad for business 😂
Country bar is called Grand Ol Oprey and it’s still there, run by the same old lady. It’s one of the few bars you can still smoke in because the owner never changed so it’s grandfathered in.
9:53 Mickey was feeling magical. He couldn't help blowing a whistle.
he was excited!! 👊
I'm kind of curious to go to this hill and visit these bars, maybe with my mom because she is fluent in Korean, so that I can gain an appreciation for what it means to be transgender in Korea.
Are u trans top?:0
Good to see all sides of Korea can’t wait to visit xx
3:28 Rappers are talking about a car when they say 64 😭😂😂
The us soldiers used to be the main guests of the hooker hill but since the army base has left yongsan, the hooker hill is in a decline. Next time I recommend you to visit the chinatown in daerim and garibong. Also wongok in ansan will be a fun place to visit
I read about that online, it's in a big decline...because it's a hill....hahahaha.
We are going to China town next week, to eat hotpot and try meet some gangsters! 👊
When they closed Camp Yongsan, all the American money left so all those holes in the wall went gay or transgender and are closing up. You shouldve seen that place in the 1980s and 1990s it was off the freaking chain. I spent so much money there...
omg, i would love to have been there in the 80's
ur a custy😂😂😂😂😂
Been there 4 times walked ALL Over Seoul. When you first went west and saw Hooker hill, you should of kept going another block or two and turned right up another hill. That's the NEW Hooker Hill
thanks
Enjoyed it please more of those nightvlogs or how about 1 nightvlog per week it’s a whole different vibe especially because I watch your videos when it’s night time take care mate
We actually went for a night hike, and it was SICK!... Was gonna film but decided not to, we do have another night hike planned, so will definitely make a video about it! 👊
It was a very busy place in the early 80's. Lots of clubs, restaurants, and of course women. It looks nothing like it used to.
Predicting real estate and keeping up with the times; mate, you're more Korean than I am.
hahah thanks make 👊
sick stache bro!
Sounds Like the name of a WW-2 Fight the
Battle of Hooker HiLL
Sounds like a place that sells shisha 👊
I think building at 16:07 is restaurant from Itaewon Class kdrama
it is!
Few work options for trans people in Korea, wasn't aware of this or any of the other places mentioned in Korea, but been to soi cowboy and patpong, olongapo and Angeles city, Wanchai - I'm Korean
Fish alley was across the intersection at the bottom of Hooker Hill.
"Hooker Hill" 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂💀💀
And you played 1 of the hardest tracks on that album
Heat
You are living up to your Pirate lifestyle!
In the rooftop video we did it true pirate style! We have made so many videos this week, i've got some amazing Pirate videos to upload 👊
~16:50 what an amazing view wow
fantastic view! the views in thursdays video are going to be even better!! 👊
Let´s practise "distancing in daily life", or in other words.....How to be like a Finnish person. :D
That is what we do....even long before Covid 19.
1st again Yosh !
Dance with me Ajoshi! YOSH 👊
I lived in Seoul in 98-02, before kpop was big, before social media and yt. I moved back to Texas and I can’t wait to move back to Seoul with my young family. Hopefully in the next two years I’ll be back
I was speaking to my mates and said gangnam style was the birth of korea.... before that nobody really thought about the country...post gangnam style the popularity of the country and it's culture are exploding..
thoughts?
@@PirateDan i think you’re spot on. Gangnam style definitely had something to do with Koreas popularity. I lived in a Seoul during World Cup and I know that brought a lot of attention to Korea as well, but that song reached everyone. Look at bts now!
I lived in Masan for a bit too. Make sure you go to the "art village" area. Also, you guys have to go to Geoje Island, not far from Masan. It is beautiful and accessible by land. A lot to see and do there. It is a ship building hub so weirdly has quite a few expat families from all over the world, very different scene to soliders and teachers. You can even get a full English breakfast in a town there called Okpo.
I'm really excited to visit Masan! but i'm not excited to eat the seafood!! thanks so much for the recommendations!! And 10000& i will eat the full English breakfast!! 👊
Too bad you missed Polly's Kettle. Awesome bar. It was at the top of Hooker Hill.
its amazin i was there in 80's and it was full of american soldiers ,
this video was boring except showing anything about transgender bars just plain boring
G unit what ayee!!!
Had quite a few jackets and backpacks stolen at Old Town near the top of that hill trying to keep the party going after Cakeshop would wind down. And there was a club called TRIPPY near the top that was also pretty good.
I've never been to cakeshop, but heard it's one of the best clubs in Itaewon dor techno and dance music??
When corona ends i'm gonna make a series about the best clubs, bars and nights out in Seoul! 👊
from what i was told Hooker Hill is dead and so are other red light districts like this that were once blooming. Was it a government effort or just lack of business
“Juicy Girl Bars” is what y’all went too. It’s a tourist trap for men to get swindled by foreign girls in South Korea.
Hooker hill was very populated/busy by patrons before the US Army base left Yongsan.
Source: I was stationed there before the base moved.
damn, i wish i visited all those years ago!
@@PirateDan I’ll admit they were fun and hilarious times!
However, mostly young and dumb “Privates” (With some exceptions of Officers) fell for those schemes, with some even marrying them (Juicy Girls) and then unsurprisingly getting a divorce.
Gold’s Bar and Prost were great and fun bars In Itaewon to visit, since the hassle of juicy girls were pretty non-existent. Hopefully they are still there. In addition, “Vatos” was good taco place to visit in Itaewon.
If you’re wondering why they were called “Juicy Girls”, because they would squeeze/scam you out of all your money with exorbitant prices.
I have loads of places I could recommend out there. South Korea is a great and beautiful country to live or explore in, I hope you greatly enjoy it!
@@headers12 i do a lot of exploration videos of seoul on my channel. can you recommend somewhere good to visit that i havn't been before :)
@@PirateDan Cheonpyeong River Land.
Bungee jumping over water!
@Pirate Dan Namdaemun Market.
Is a cool market to visit as well.
Thanks for video haven't seen hooker hill in 42 years was in the military back then
Was hooker hill a lot busier 42 years ago? 👊
@@PirateDan lol 😂😂 yep most definitely
What if you farted while the police was conducting
the test
i was stationed there in the 80's and i dont think they were there
I was in the military in the early 2000s and have been there. It's, definitely an interesting place, to say the least. Check out some Tom McDonald, his music is in another level, at least his lyrics.
hey mates thanks for the recommendation, always like listening to new music!!
Posh Tom’s story sounds like a similar story of a guy we know that accidentally got lost in a red light district when the Yorkshire Ripper was about.
He had apparently got lost and stopped to ask a lady for who was stood at the side of the road for directions.
The lady was an undercover police officer and the guy was taken in for questioning.
Funny how people (men) always accidentally come across stuff 🤣😉
She was a fine Hill until the South Koreans took 'er over.
By the way: For Queers, ya ain't bad.
15:12 여잔데 ㄹㅇ이런거 왜만드냐
x라 쓸데없음 여성가족부 이딴것도 이해안되는데 에휴
정작 사람들이 원하는건 안하고 남녀갈등 조장시키는 건 졸라 잘함
neeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
I didn’t know it exists in Korea and alcohol detect device is surprising
the alcohol detect was crazy! I think that's the best part of the video 👊
Dan knows about get rich or die tryin 🔥🔥
what's your favorite 50 cent song?? 👊
"Ricky" is humourous and will bunghole your backsides.
Rap and other Queer sheet sucks.
Hooker Hill had no gay stuff in 2008.
Since U.S. army base has left yongsan, Hooker hill is dead. A lot of juicygirls or Itaewon girls moved to Anjeong-Ri or Songtan. Both are Pyeongtaek but most of U.S. army in Korea moved to Camp Humphreys in Anjeong-Ri. Also a lot of American or Western people go to Hongdae these days. So if you're looking for a young Korean women(I mean actual women) in Seoul, You should to go Hongdae.
all the army base are moving down south to yongsan! I made a video exploring Hongdae on my channel, go and check it out and leave a comment 👊
@Pedro Albuquerque I tried to message you 2 times. Bar or club is not available in Seoul after 10pm because covid19. Check out these videos. It's was 2 months ago. th-cam.com/video/sQKpLahT-Ek/w-d-xo.html After 10pm, People go to this street. Both are Hongdae. th-cam.com/video/mgf_QrUhGR4/w-d-xo.html Thank you.
I am not sue if Dan is a male. You never know nowadays
I dress as a female when i reply to comments ... 👊
@@PirateDan lol 😂
Can you send me the exact address of this place
go to exit 1 of itaewon and turn left!
@@PirateDan ok thanks and how can i contact with you? Do you have Instagram
If yes please give me your contact detail and i will contact you as i have some questions regarding your videos

Back in the 80's there were no transgender bars so you just had to take your chances ha ha
