#SOCIETY Can You Get Married In Korea?

Here are what Korean look for in a life partner


DUO, Korea's largest matchmaking company released a survey that shows only 33% of Koreans are planning on getting married. This shows a large decrease in societal pressure to get married. One of the reason Koreans are disillusioned with marriage is because of the high standards they have for one another. Here is a list of what Koreans expect in a partner:


Males prefer their bride to be 163.4cm (5'4) and earn a salary of est $40,000 after taxes. Also they would like the female to have close to $200K in assets and be 2-3 years younger. They want their bride to have graduated from college and works either for a government or one the larger companies in Korea. Men say they value personality first, shared values second, and looks third.


Korean women want their men to be 5'10 earn $57,000 after taxes and have a net worth of $280K. They would like them to be older by 1-2 years and graduated from a 4 year college and work for the government or one of the larger companies in Korea. Women value personality first, values second and men's net worth third.
