Local man's outing with sex doll turns heads at amusement park
An unusual date between a local man and what appears to be a life-sized sex doll turned heads this Lunar New Year holiday at an amusement park in Gyeongju, 270 kilometers south of Seoul.
An unidentified man posted a review of his recent visit to Gyeongju World on Wednesday, sharing photos and videos of his date with "Rem" at the amusement park.
"I couldn't get on all the rides because it was winter, but I was happy to take her on rides like the Kraken (an apparent misspelling of the roller coaster Draken), the Magic Bike, the Air Balloon and the Bumper Cars... It was the best!" he wrote, saying he will visit again when it gets warmer.
His companion, however, was not a human being, but a life-sized mannequin of what appeared to be the type usually used for erotic purposes.
A number of users on social media have posted photos of what is thought to be the man and "Rem."
One person saw the man and the doll on a wheelchair, waiting for an elevator at Busan Station. The person recalled mistaking the doll for an actual human being and thinking she must be freezing in this weather.
Life-sized sex dolls are far from common in South Korea, but they seem to have become more prevalent in recent years. The Korea Customs Service permitted their import in 2022.
