the answer "Korean escort" should be good/basic enough. It's not rocket science. You can split hairs all you want and say "well, this girl is Korean, but she's not really a K-girl, or this girl is Japanese, but otherwise no different than typical K-girl", etc, etc, blah, blah, blah. If they want to dig deeper they can fill in the blanks by reading discussion boards and reviews.
If TER does come up with a definition, might want to expand it to cover the seeming obsessiveness of some of the clientele as well - BigP can write that part.

A bit of a follow on to the thread about getting that addressed in either the forum description or in a permanent lead post in the forum -- very good suggestion.
Yes, I think it's an excellent suggestion, too.
I think we might have something of a cosmopolitan versus local/provincial view of things here. I started thinking about that when I started thinking about where you see the service offered. To my knowledge you don't see many listing for places like Huston, Dallas, Kansas City, Nashville or Memphis but each has plenty of activity I'm pretty sure.
If you looks at where most of the K-girl activity occurs it's going to be in the larger cities and surrounding areas with a more cosmopolitan flare than those cities that have a more nationalistic or local country culture to them.
I'll posit that it has less to do with the cosmopolitan nature of the city or location and more to do with the specific K population in those areas. NYC has K-towns in Manhattan and Queens and that means a lot of local support, knowledge, maybe even investment to establish apartments and such. The number dwindles as you spread out from the city center, even into CT (there used to be places in Stamford; still?) but your support group (and K speaking lawyer) is still less than an hour away. I am guessing something similar applies to LA, SF, Houston, etc. (LV is kind of unique.) Out in the boondocks, a small population of K folk stand out as the new kids in town, "What are THEY doing here?" Not a good idea to get an apartment, install TS and walls and bring in a bunch of beautiful K-girls who never to leave for work or shopping.
The first K-settlers were the pioneers, opening up legit businesses and establishing contacts and networks. The later generations started expanding beyond the conventional to take advantage of other opportunities.
Cosmopolitan, maybe; but cosmopolitan with a heavy dose of K is more important.
K-cracker, a poor Korean in the deep south?
I'm not entirely sure that works. It was explained to me that white folk are called crackers because they're like saltines: pale and flaky and when shaken the salt starts falling off. Koreans just are not that pale 
I do agree but it seems a be tautological to suggest the Korean services exist where the Koreans are
I think the more open a city and it's people are to other cultures is probably a criteria for where the various K-towns (and C-towns, and V-towns -- not sure if there are really and J-towns ) formed. I suspect which location ultimately hits that critical mass and turns into a K-town rather than just some Koreans living in some American city might be interesting but I agree that will be a key factor and it's those areas where I think we see this. Like you map somewhat indicates (but Asian is a pretty broad criteria so I don't think all those blue/green dots support the K-girl scene) it's not all the major metropolitan cities, only some.
Which gets back to my question -- who is doing the asking any why?
I also agree with your observation K-girl is a Korean escort. It's largely that simple in the most general statement -- so again why this repeated question. Is it coming from those in an area where no K-town exists or something else.
To cdl -- isn't it all just part of the K-wave phenomena that's sweeping the world of entertainment?

I'll compromise. It's not just that K-girls are where K-folk are. You need a critical mass and a support community, such as a K-town.

People too lazy to do a little searching, a little reading or even a little thinking. But it's also why I think we need a paragraph on the main page or an anchor post to give a brief explanation for the lazy and also to assure those who have done their homework about the correctness of their answers.

That's not me. I do make a distinction between the K-American indy (not a K-girl in my book), the immigrant from K who got her degree from Stanford and is hanging around as an upscale indy (not a K-girl in my book), and the often short stay girls from Korea who frequently tour from city to city and apartment to apartment, are beautiful to look at, a pleasure to be with, provide reliable service according to an SOP, etc. The latter are, for most of us, K-girls.
It's largely that simple in the most general statement -- so again why this repeated question. Is it coming from those in an area where no K-town exists or something else.
I don't know. Let's get the Q permanently answered at the top of the Board ... and a few doofusses will still come and ask the Q anyway
"and a few doofusses will still come and ask the Q anyway. "
Sad but very true I expect.
A J-town, called "Little Tokyo", just North of the warehouse district and East of the Civic center in downtown LA. Chinatown is North of the Civic Center and Ktown about 4 miles West. So in reality, the Korean community was the last of these three Asian communities to stake out a geographical area in LA. The Viet community is in OC.
I'm not part of the entertainment industry (unless you want to include Kgirls as "entertainment"), so I can't really answer your question. However, Little Tokyo was firmly established in the 1920's, but took a hit when the residents were put in the interment camps during WWII. Since then, the community has come back nicely. I have known a few indie Kgirls in the past that worked incall from their little Tokyo residences. A well-known SD Kgirl also lives there, but only works in SD. Rents are lower in Ktown than other parts of Downtown, which attracts a certain percentage of riff-raff, so many well-to-do Koreans (including Kgirls making $20,000+ a month) prefer living in Little Tokyo. It's only a 10 minute can ride away.
..of another one too: "Little Little People Town." I'm pretty sure they'll have a lot of spinners.
the warped mind of BigP . . . . . Classic! Lol
You forgot Little Persia south of UCLA.
I was actually wondering if the internment camps and WWII had had some type of impact that's persisted. We have K-town, C-town and even something resembling a V-town for the Asian influence in the area but I've not really seen any concentration of Japanese. Oddly enough we have a number of Japanese steak and sushi restaurants throughout the area. Maybe it's just more hidden to me.
Little Tokyo aka J-town

Now sushi chefs are quite a different matter, you can go to bum fuck Kentucky and find a Japanese guy cutting your sushi for you, but most likely he will be the only actual Japanese guy in the place.
Typically at most teppan places any one with slanted eyes will do where it comes to running the grill, or even Mexican or anyone else not lily white, but sushi seems to be an entirely different matter.
BTW the reason you rarely see "jap towns" in this country is that Japanese are not the small business owner types that tend to band together in ethnic communities as do the Chinese, Koreans and Vietnamese, or even Italians and Jews for that matter. Japanese are much more likely to work at large corporations and don't seem to feel the need to band together in this way.
Most decent sized cities will have a Chinatown, Koreatown and a little Saigon, but you won't see a lot of Little Tokyo's or even Little Bankok's for that matter. Thais also seem to spread out a bit.
theyre always usually fat ugly dumbshits
typically they congregate in trailer parks and sweat like pigs and make the kgirls puke after the session
I had a friend of mine, (Chinese woman) who owned one of those places for years in Atlanta, in the twenty years or so that I frequented the place she had a grand total of three Japanese people that worked there, and that was including her Japanese brother in law who was a co owner.
The Georgia rednecks just LOVED the huge piles of teriyaki flavored meats and vegetables cooked on a "grill" more suited for Waffle House than a steak house and then would brag about how much they loved "Japanese food" lmao
I will confess, she made some "employee food" that was off the menu that was fantastic though.

Interesting observation regarding the cultures and tendency to then form a closer nit community.
I think your comment about Japanese working in the steak houses/sushi bars holds for the Behni Hana (Sp?!) type places but I was not really counting them. Not a big Japanese cuisine person (and really don't do the dine out thing all that much either) but the last couple I've been to in my area were almost exclusively staffed with Japanese -- or at least Asians.
But I've never noticed any street or store signs in Japanese anywhere, Chinese, Korean, Vietnamese is very noticeable, and maybe even some Indian, Pakistani, Pursian and Greek here and there on a given block or two. I think your insight about employment maybe explains that.
But outside places like Seattle, LA, SF or NYC they are a statistical blip compared to the number of teppan style restaurants, passed off as "Japanese"
and as you said, they were staffed by "Asians" not necessarily Japanese.
You guys in LA are lucky as you have many different ethnic communities complete with great and authentic food from the home country as it's made for the immigrants that live there and not just for Americans who like a gyro is Greek food or that Sweet and Sour chicken is "genuine" Chinese.
G -- you just shattered my culinary mind! Sweet and Sour isn't authentic?!
I said "by Asians" because I cannot be sure; I don't claim any expertise in looking at someone can being able to definitely state where they originate from. The places seemed quite authentic and were not teppan (at least in the dinning area) style places
Yes, we are actually on the same page. It's unfortunate, but the teppan type of places make up the overwhelming majority of Japanese restaurants in this country, just like almost all Americans consider "General Tso's" chicken "Chinese food" which you and I know couldn't be farther from the truth.
I will concede sight unseen, that if the place advertised as Japanese and had not a single Hibachi grill in view, it almost certainly was an actual "Japanese" restaurant.
It is a bit ironic, but of all the "major" Asian ethnic cuisines only Vietnamese and Korean tend to stick to their roots. It's rare to find an Americanized Korean restaurant and "most" Vietnamese restaurants tend not to be Americanized, although there has been a recent rise in "PHO" joints that cater to Americans. Now where it comes to Chinese, Thai and Japanese restaurants, unless you are in the Asian part of a large city, your chances of getting authentic and "non sweet and syrupy" food are rather slim, but your waistline won't remain slim as American Asian food is just as unhealthy for you as American fried food.
25 years ago, all of the chefs were Japanese. Now they all speak Spanish. However, the waitresses are not all Japanese either, but at least Asian.
This is funny but the JAL airline stewardess. They are so hot I melt when I see them. Don't want to act like a perv, maybe someday one will walk up to me and ask for my assistance. LMAO Dream on
"accidentally" drop about $100,000 cash in bricks on the floor and they will ALL hand you their phone numbers. Problem solved. Sometimes the greatest challenges have the simplest solutions.

it won't just be the hot stews that will be attracted to a hundred grand of undeclared cash on an international flight.
Hate to be a buzz kill, but...
That's cheaper than what my X took me for with an unhappy ending,
