The Royal Asiatic Society will take a walk on the wild side in its next lecture.
Robert Neff will use Tuesday’s presentation to talk about the more sordid side of Korea’s first Western residents.
His lecture will detail death threats and embezzlement due to gambling debts, alcoholic missionaries and loose women.
The talk runs from 7:30-9 p.m. at the Residents’ Lounge in Somerset Palace near Anguk Station in Seoul. Admission is free for society members and 5,000 won for non-members.
