As the proud hairy man mentioned above, I should also add that I was strongly encouraged to wax the hairy on my hands and fingers (the only part of my [grotesquely disfigured] body which showed through the suit). I should note that I did not go through with it, but they went as far as to present me with a flier of a body-waxing service in Itaewon.

This is not a job for anyone with body issues, since they will likely be confronted in such a crass way. Someone, for real, in those early months was fired immediately upon arrival in Korea for not being attractive enough.
