With a team of 120 female attendants, the operation generated illicit profits of approximately VND 10 billion over two months. Seven individuals, including South Korean managers and a Vietnamese madam, have been arrested as the investigation continues.

On August 2, the Ho Chi Minh City Police Department announced the successful dismantling of a prostitution ring catering to foreigners, operating under the facade of the G&G restaurant located at 165/76-78 Nguyen Thai Binh Street, District 1.

The Ho Chi Minh City Police Department's Criminal Investigation Division, in collaboration with District 1 Police, executed the raid and arrested seven individuals, including Hoang Anh Hao, Yu Sungho, Ngo Thi Ngoc Thuy, Lee Jihyoung, Kim Ji Hoon, Kang MinCheol, and Nguyen Kim Diem (known as Madam Yen) on charges of procuring prostitution.

The police are expanding their investigation to identify additional suspects involved in the operation.

The G&G restaurant, active since May 22, had been involved in arranging prostitution services for foreign clients. The establishment featured 30 rooms with unauthorized karaoke activities and primarily served Chinese and South Korean customers.

The operation included eight South Korean managers, three Vietnamese madams, two service staff, and over 120 female attendants available for prostitution services.

Remarkably, the G&G restaurant used social media to advertise itself as a safe entertainment venue with sexy dancing attendants who offered prostitution services upon request, at rates ranging from VND 2.5 to 4 million per session. The services were conducted at luxury hotels and serviced apartments, with transportation provided by high-end vehicles.

The G&G restaurant was infamous within Vietnam's service industry and among South Korean expats as a "paradise" that any visiting South Korean must experience.

Upon gathering sufficient information, on July 12, the Criminal Investigation Division coordinated with District 1 Police and other relevant units to conduct an unexpected administrative inspection of the G&G restaurant.

During the raid, the police discovered documents detailing how the restaurant's madams arranged for four female attendants to engage in prostitution at upscale serviced apartments in Thu Duc City and Binh Thanh District. The police conducted administrative checks at these locations and summoned involved individuals for questioning.

Restaurant owners like Hoang Anh Hao, Yu Sungho, and Ngo Thi Ngoc Thuy confessed to directing subordinates to allow female attendants to provide prostitution services to foreign clients to boost revenue. The South Korean managers and Vietnamese madams held regular secret meetings to devise prostitution strategies.

Foreign customers entering the restaurant were required to present their passports to verify nationality or have a known acquaintance vouch for them. Security personnel routinely checked for Vietnamese individuals loitering near the restaurant and swiftly removed them. They also frequently changed the prostitution locations.

According to police reports, the G&G restaurant generated approximately VND 10 billion in illegal profits during its two months of operation.

The police have detained seven individuals, including South Korean managers and Vietnamese madams, and are continuing to expand the investigation.
