Love Land, South Korea


Follow the Yellow Prick Road?

Don't recall how I came across this, but here are some pix from a sex theme park on Jeju (or Cheju) Island off South Korea that is supposedly a hot spot for honeymooners and kids alike (children under 12 get in free if accompanied by adults! Can you imagine Bart Simpson here?). It's called Jeju Loveland and looks like what Jeffrey Koons would come up with if asked to design a theme park. And I thought the Japanese had cornered the market on sexual fetishism!

I checked out the official website for Loveland and learned that it opened in November 2004 in this southermost Korean island (pictured at right) that is condidered a tropical paradise for Korean vacationers. In 2002, 20 artists who were graduates of Hongik University in Seoul started creating what would eventually be 140 sculptures in Korea’s only sexual theme park. No wonder they chose to open the park offshore from the mainland. South Korea is still very traditional when it comes to sexual mores, a land where public displays of affection are frowned upon, living together is considered sinful, and being single after age 30 is a sign of failure (or homoexuality).

These gals have a bone to pick with Love Land.
