'Juicy bars' in South Korea
Stars and Stripes' coverage of the controversy over "juicy bars," the seedy entertainment establishments commonly clustered near the gates of U.S. military bases across South Korea. Prostitution and indentured servitude have been everyday realities at many of these popular hangouts for American soldiers, according to bar girls, many of whom were enticed from the Philippines to work in the South Korean bars with false promises that they could earn legitimate incomes as singers and entertainers.
