Not much. A few hours of drinks, food, and conversation for 4 guys with hostess's drinking their watered beverage of choice. No prostitution, just 4 guys "living large", local style.
You guys may need to get out more. Dinner, wine, and tip for 4 at any high level restaurant in Seattle, LA, or HNL is going to cost more than $800. Ive spent that much at Huggos in Kona... it's what things cost when your entertainment for the evening consists of a fancy dinner, expensive drinks/ wine, in a nice place.
Korean bars don't serve fine food and wines, instead they offer a hostess to sit and talk with each guest. Don't see what's hard to understand about that, but again, I've traveled throughout Asia on business' and know how commonplace this system is.
