Ticket Dabang or Ticket Tabang, is a variant of Dabang, "Ticket Tabang". It is a difference from dabang. It is known in South Korea as a source for discrete prostitution.[citation needed] Ticket Tabangs make up a small percentage of Tabangs. Often when a person orders coffee from a Ticket Tabang, they are aware the service includes sex.[citation needed] Ticket Tabang women often deliver the coffee on a scooter and then provide a sexual service upon arrival.[citation needed] Ticket Tabang employees can be seen driving scooters to and from Ticket Tabangs in the more rural communities throughout South Korea.[1] There is a culture of acceptance about the services the girls offer. The service is seen as a need where ever there is construction, and or hotels or motels.[citation needed] Even with the potential for prostitution the service the girls provide is just part of the overall scheme of things in the same way as a mobile food vendor, or pizza delivery service.[citation needed] Some tabangs that send girls out for deliveries do not serve walk-in customers.[citation needed] At nights the tabangs in a certain area join forces and send their girls out to-gether.[citation needed] There are only a few girls working at nights in any one tabang, so a designated driver picks up the girls from several tabangs and delivers them when a call comes through.[citation needed] Term for these young ladiess is of course "Yagan" which means nighttime.[citation needed] The driver will sit outside the residence with the other girls while a certain girl will service a customer.[citation needed] At night buisness is a little slower during the week, so the girls are allowed to stay longer with their customers.[citation needed]
Staff
Many of the girls come from dysfunctional families.[citation needed] Others come from functional poor families.[citation needed] Now and again you will meet a coffee girl who wasn't satisfied with her previous job, and opted to be a tabang girl to make enough money to maybe pay off a credit card debt.[citation needed] University students become tabang girls in the semester break sometimes.[citation needed] Some girls even send money home to support parents, and or brothers and sisters.[citation needed] Some tabangs are quite brutal in their control of the girls, and the girls working in those tabangs are forced into a servitude that is almost impossible for them to paye off.[citation needed] The majority of the tabangs though are very fair, and allow the girls to come and go as they please.[citation needed] Tabang owners naturally look for ways to maximise their profits.[citation needed] Some of the girls are housed by the tabang in a regular apartment.[citation needed] In the morning they are picked up, and driven to work by the tabang staff. Others who are little bit more independent share motel rooms.[citation needed]
A slang and derogatory term for the girls is "obong " or "obong sui" ("obong" is supposed to be a plate in english).[citation needed] The older lady (adjumah) who washes the dishes and prepares the coffee to be delivered is usually called the "Jubang Oni", another derogatory term.[citation needed]
Advertising
The printing industry covers tissue boxes with an individual tabangs telephone number, and name. These are placed in motels or left with a customer to adverise services. The tabangs distribute the magnetic labels with the tabang information as well as the plastic cigarette lighters with tabang telephone numbers. There are also the standard pieces of cloth tied at its corners that all girls use to carry their coffee.
Other services
Many customers use the girls to service clients with coffee while they conduct business.[citation needed] Others use the girls to help them clean up their apartments.[citation needed] For foreigners they are a good source of local information, and help with appliances in one's apartment that he or she is not familiar with.[citation needed] Sometimes the term "Pedal" is applied to the girls delivering coffee the same way it is applied to the delivery of meals or pizza.[citation needed]
