I know that most K-girls don't read this forum, but few do and many clients do, so I'm hoping to spread the word.  There is increasing trend in certain parts of the country to post uncensored photos of girl's face with or without the provider's consent.  

Among the girls who do not give consent, this occurs when unscrupulous agency owners don't blur the faces before posting photos given to them by the girl.  Sometimes even after being told to remove the uncensored photos, they just change the link to blurred photos but fail to remove the uncensored photos, so that they still show up on photo searches and review sites that maintain a link to the original photos.

Among the girls who do give consent to use of uncensored photos, they often do so under the misguided understanding that these photos will only be used in that city and just during their tour.  They don't understand that once uncensored photos are out on the internet, they live forever in blogs, fake advertising, and archival sites.  They are shocked to discover that these photos are also used by massage parlors and room salons in Korea and regularly posted on Korean sex blogs.  Unless these girls have nude modeling as their future goal, none of them want their uncensored photos circulating where they live.

Girls need to understand that bookers and owners don't necessarily have their best interest in mind.  In these tough economic times, more and more agencies are resorting to using uncensored photos and turning a blind eye to bad clients.  Girls need to think for themselves and protect their best interest.  When handing out your photos, do not hand your entire original portfolio to any agency, manager, or booker.  Pre-select 3 to 5 photos and have them sized appropriately (no larger than 800 x 600) and blur the faces to your comfort level.  Hand only these small pre-blurred photos to anyone that needs to use your photos.  

Most girls come to the US by word of mouth.  So I am hoping that few K-girls who read this post and clients who have the best interest of these girls at heart can help spread the word, so that girls who choose to work can make appropriate informed decisions.

I think the K-dolls need to be a little more careful.

You are not revealing anything new.  They are aware of the problem given that they are working outside the law in a foreign land and there is little they can do about it. It is also neccessary to understand because of certain factors the practice is difficult to control. Given how much some of the ladies make some put up with it.

Most girls do not have physical or sole control of their pics.As over 125 K-dolls , some agents & even bookers discovered at a high career ending price recently the week link is the handling of pics from source of origin to destination. Without getting into details I will not go into details this is the root of the problem, resulting in pic getting in the wrong hands & places in Korea, here & even Dubai. All those who , for their own reasons have a vested interest , in seeking information follow the pictures.
Overseas Agencies receive pics to select talents from, and make 90-day K-dolls hit the ground running. ,While the girls do end up paying for the photo shoots initially they don't & whoever pays mostly controls them ...plus the photographer.
Most providers on the road worked in LA for several years going from agency to agency across the country . Some using pics 3 & 4 years old, that will remain online forever. that comes with the territory.
Initially most K-doll pics didn't show the head or at least a really blu.r the face , sometimes they had ads of someone resembling the actual. However, for  past 3 or 4 years the market forces and vigorous competition made faces easily identifiable. it is a risk the K-dolls know and deal with.

A growing trend in other parts of the country is to download pics of the top K-dolls in LA and use them to advertise whomever they are promoting. Have seen pics of K-Divas Kami, Juana , Asia used in NY & CA in B&S situations.
Another problem is chronic in this profession .Just as we have American providers using fake pics of someone else ( often DDG ) from time to time we get K-doll agencies using stock pictures , that do not resemble their providers, from Japanese, Korean & other Asian websites.

What the K-dolls have to fear most in this area of vulnerability is predators & others who betray the trust & unwritten ,but implicit, agreement that exists between a provider & client ( all providers not just K-dolls) by sneaking cameras cameras to violate the privacy of the providers by shooting footage or pics without her knowledge. These pics end up on various websites , & in the case of some K-dolls. a thread on TER LA DB mentioned these appeared in Korean websites. Some K-dolls change handles & photos when outed.  
Call it poetic justice but one such predator was identified ,his pic taken and circulated and despite 100+ is universally black listed.

Because I had to help several providers including some well known Divas and Dolls with this problem as well as touring girls. Touring girls I helped had their own photos that they emailed directly to the agency owners bypassing this "problem" you speak of. So uncensored photos that ended up on the agency ads could have been entirely avoided had they known what they were doing.  They immediately informed their friends in Korea of this situation and hopefully their friends won't make the same mistake.

I am sure in many cases, your scenario also plays out between brokers in Korea and agencies in the US. Not much can be done about that. However, cases that I am familiar with have not involved any underground elements or brokers.

to what i said ,to indulge you more would be counter productive to those you profess you wish to protect. If you are so concerned & so sure why dont you sue on behalf of the victims. That  would be something new , everything else you referred to is a given within the business. So again ther than predators who betray the trust and violate the providers ( all and any provider) the rest is part & parcell of this business ,the rewards must be worth the risk. I dont see the point of the post perhaps well intended but "gravely" naive to a fault. Feel free to pm but i am done here.

...to others in Korea so that they can avoid the same problem.  By posting this information, you are shining a light on the situation and as the saying goes: "Sunshine is the best disinfectant."  

OTOH, Harpman follows his usual M.O. by trying to sweep it under the carpet so that future K-girls won't be aware of the situation and take steps to avoid it.  To him it's a "given within the business."  That's baloney - things can change if the girls in Korea are made aware by giving them the information so that they can take preventative measures to protect themselves.

Shedding more light on this certainly doesn't hurt.

I just heard about an incident involving a long time client who was caught trying to secretly video a session in our area.  Fortunately the provider was astute enough to recognize something was not right about the client's watch. With advances in technology, girls have to be specially vigilant about these spy watches, pens, and glasses.  Day might come when you might have to strip outside the room and put your belongings in a basket before you can see the provider.
