G-Men

Since their recent discovery in the wild, G-Men have sparked heated debate amongst gay naturalists. Some pose that the G-Man represents a species completely new to science, while others posit that they are simply a new-found breed of the northeastern Asiatic bear. Endemic to Japan, they are noted for being less hirsute and than their occidental counterparts, and exhibit a higher propensity toward polite conversation over tea or beer.

There has been a relative explosion of G-Man culture, not just in Korea but all over 'Asia' and even back in the 'West', providing an excellent case study for the evolutionary (as opposed to simply imperialist) nature of globalization. I was lucky enough to have a recent edition of G-Men Magazine gifted to me which covers Seoul specifically, and managed to track down a den of activity in Jongno. The magazine, as hefty and glabrous as it's subjects and from which these photos were drawn, also included this advertisement featuring homoeroticized acupuncture that basically would have made my trip to Asia worthwhile all on it's own.
