SEOUL (Reuters) - A South Korean sex trade show promised foreign women in steamy underwear, striptease acts and sex seminars but had to cancel the performances after losing its lingerie models to immigration laws, organizers said on Thursday.

The 2006 Seoul Sex Education Expo, dubbed Sexpo, opened on Thursday,

however, with plenty of sex toys, lotions and audiovisual material.

"Immigration officials warned us if the models performed without having obtained the appropriate visa,

they could be subject to deportation," a Sexpo official said.

An immigration official said models from places such as Australia

were planning to enter the country on tourist visas,

but they needed performance visas.

The event, which runs through Sunday, had been heavily advertised.

Several male visitors were angry about seeing so many inflatable plastic women on display and no real ones.

"I came here for a show and all I have is this leaflet about sex toys. What's going on here?" said one man in his mid-60s who asked not to be identified.

Sexpo has been held in other parts of Asia but civic groups in South Korea had pressed authorities to close the show on the grounds that it was offensive.

South Korea, however, already has a large and vibrant sex industry.

Prolly because S. Korea considers itself (still) more a SUPPLIER OF rather than DESTINATION FOR workers.

Hmm. I don't know about that. A lot of peeps from Vietnam migrate annually to S. Korea for work. Nonetheless, the situation is horrible with the models.

when I was in Korea in the late 80s it was the Korean women that were the sex models. But Korea has seen a lot of economic growth in the past 20 years. (God has it been 20 years already), People I know first hand who have recently returned from Korea tell me its full of foreign women working in the sex industry (Mainly from Russia and Phillipines).

Women from Russia, other countries of the former Soviet Union, China, the Philippines, and other Southeast Asian countries were trafficked to the country for sexual exploitation. They were recruited personally or answered advertisements and were flown to Korea, often with entertainer or tourist visas. As of August 2005, the government had issued 4,551 entertainer visas. --- Humtrafficking.org
