I translated this little article, simply because I liked it. I love articles about Korea with humor. By the way, the blog is very interesting - askakorean.blogspot.com. There, “live” Koreans answer questions about themselves.
"Dear girls!
According to Gustavo Arellano, the most frequently asked question about Mexicans is "Why do Mexicans bathe in clothes?". As for Koreans, the most frequently asked question is: “What do Korean guys like/dislike/about girls? how do they feel about girls? How do they behave with girls? Etc.".
Most of the questions come with an extra long story about these girls, so I can already guess what the email will be about if the sender's address looks like [email protected], and the email itself weighs under 200 kb. Some of these letters I have answered privately, some on this site, and some I have never been able to answer because sometimes I don't even know where to start.
Some of the letters are about Korean men who have been around non-Korean women, but most of the letters seem to be a direct result of the recent surge in popularity of dramas and their actors. Koreans now stand out from the general mass of men in the world in a separate category, and they seem to be the objects of love fantasies of many non-Korean women.
So here are the answers to your most frequently asked questions.
Will a Korean guy date a non-Korean (White/Black/Hispanic/South Asian/Martian)?
You only need to remember one thing about Korean men, and here it is - they are men first and Koreans second. Do you have breasts and a vagina? Then at least some Koreans will be interested in you. It's pretty rare, but interracial relationships are always pretty rare.
I want to clearly emphasize: KOREAN MEN ARE EXACTLY THE SAME LIKE ALL MEN. Dramas are based on the fact that you stupid women are always trying to find men who don't exist in the real world. Please stop. No man expects a woman to cook like Rachel Ray or swear like Jenna Jameson. The same should apply to your expectations from men.
What qualities do Korean guys look for in a woman? What can I do to make a Korean like me?
Like I said before: try to cook something for him. But this advice usually works with all men. There is no special love elixir that only works with Koreans. Just be yourself. And give him a blowjob (advice from a Korean girl).
Why do Korean guys want to get married so early?
There is a lot of societal pressure on this - Koreans need to be married by a certain age. And if this age is passed, the guys get on a hot sale. Korean women have it even worse, but men are definitely affected as well.
What does it mean if a Korean guy gives you a four leaf clover/hairpin/doll/whatever?
There is no such thing as an ultra-super-special-gift-from-korean-boy-girl (except on special holidays). A gift is just a gift. If he hides a mega-secret ins and outs, then the guy will probably tell you about it himself. Remember girls, you're the only ones who like to play detective games with hints and stuff. Guys never attach such importance to it. If he stopped answering your calls, then yes, you should already worry, this is a clear hint.
Why can't my Korean boyfriend show his feelings? Why does this Korean guy who seems to like me only talk to me from time to time? Why do I feel like the heroine of a Greek tragedy involving me and a Korean?
Here's my answer to you - YES I DON'T KNOW! Stop flooding my inbox with your 20-page tear-jerking stories! If you need sincere help, read this article. I repeat once again: Koreans are first of all men, then already Koreans. Whatever problems you have in a relationship, 99% that it's because he's a man and maybe only 1% because he's Korean. Before mailing to the address below, please, please, PLEASE think carefully about your situation first, rule out any possible non-racial/cultural issues, and then just ask me."
A few more things:
1. Most Koreans are racist. This means that they despise people whose skin is darker than theirs. For example, South Asians are darker than Koreans, so draw your own conclusions. It is clear that in many cases your relationship will not be based on respect.
Even if your boyfriend is not a racist, his parents, relatives and friends will definitely be racist. This will make your long-term relationship or marriage extremely difficult. Perhaps your young man will be forced to make a choice between you and all the other people he knows. Guess who he's most likely to pick?
2. I do not advise you to apply to marriage agencies. Be INCREDIBLY careful about them. Korean men turn to marriage agencies only if NO KOREAN WOMAN AGREED TO MARRY THEM. So there is a reason for this. Of course, there are just losers (Korean women do not really want to marry divorced or living in the countryside). But more often than not, the reason is that you've met a classic Korean type whose hobby includes beating their wives.
3. Also beware of Korean men 30-40 years old, most often Koreans at this age are racists and manipulators that do not respect women. Remember, if a Korean is a bachelor and he is already, for example, 33 years old, then this means that either he got into some special circumstances, or something is wrong with this person.
4. Lastly, don't make the two classic female mistakes that all women make about the men in their lives: "He's different" and "He can change for me." The first statement is correct only 20% of the time, and the second is never true.
It is quite rare to see a Korean guy dating a girl of a different nationality. Some believe that this is because Korean guys are against interracial dating and therefore choose only a girl of their nationality. However, this is just a misconception and the truth is that Koreans are, for the most part, very shy. And even if they are interested in you, because of their timid nature, they may hesitate to show any interest.
What can you do? If you notice that a Korean guy you like is afraid to make the first move, don't be afraid to make the first move. But before you decide to "hunt" to catch your love, here are a few things you need to know.
- They love it when you call them opps
As you know, all Koreans are united by the fact that they love to be opps. They will even say to themselves in the 3rd person "Oppa will take care of you", "Oppa loves you". They will appreciate you more if you let them take on this role.
- They like to be the same
From the same clothes to the same phone, your Korean boyfriend will most likely give you the same things and of course expect you to use them. They are not afraid to show that someone has appeared in their life, on the contrary, they love to put on display.
- They like to celebrate small anniversaries
It is known that Koreans love to celebrate the first month, 100 days, 200 days, 300 days, the first year together. Also, every month on the 14th, in Korea is considered a holiday for lovers. Of course, if it's February 14, it's Valentine's Day, but there's also Rose Day, Kiss Day, Photo Day, and so on. He may appreciate that you want to celebrate these days with him and only him.
- They are good at communicating
Korean guys never forget about you if you are far away. They will call, write SMS. This is normal for them and of course they will expect the same from you. If you're not used to this kind of relationship, it can be a bit overwhelming and unfamiliar for the first time.
- They are jealous
One of the hardest things about dating a Korean guy is their low tolerance when dating the opposite sex. Most Koreans believe that there is no friendship between a man and a woman. While this doesn't mean you can't have guy friends, it may take time for you to "calm down" him and reassure him that he's the one for you.
- They take care of themselves
The best thing about Korean men is that they dress really well. From great clothes to great haircuts. You must try to look the part.
- They will feed you
Food is a very important part of Korean culture. In Korea, food is offered everywhere and all the time, such as after passing an exam or getting a new job. One of the most popular questions your Korean boyfriend will ask you is "Have you eaten yet?" Nothing will make him happier than sharing a large meal together. Start your practice with chopsticks and kimchi. He will appreciate it.
Tell me, have you ever met a Korean? Share your thoughts and ideas in the comments.
The morning was cool and fresh. Mountain slopes shrouded in transparent mist in the distance, a cup of fragrant coffee on the table, anticipation of adventure and expectation of a miracle... What else is needed for happiness? Perhaps only the ideal South Korean man with whom you can share all the delights of traveling to the “land of morning freshness”!Black-haired handsome men with musical names and surnames look at us languidly and passionately from TV screens. Athletic guys with a charming smile and a sensual voice seem like beautiful angels descended from heaven in human form, or at least knights on white Hyundais. Korean men are noble, generous and romantic, in courage and courage they can only be compared with Schwarzenegger and Van Dam. In love, they are tender and passionate at the same time, in a word, they are wonderful lovers, whom you can only dream of and hope to meet with them ... In any case, this is how the heroes of Korean dramas seem to us, which flooded the television air and became beloved and most often viewed. This is how we want to see the Korean guys we meet in real life. When meeting Sog Woo, Chun Won, Woo Jin and other "Korean machos" we tend to idealize them, identifying them with the characters of our favorite films... But are they like that? What are Korean guys really like? What are black-haired beauties? What should be feared when going to hunt for Koreans? What to expect? And is it worth it at all? These and a hundred more questions that torment women need answers ... So, everything you wanted and did not want to know about Koreans, only here and now. Let me introduce you to the men of South Korea!
Acquaintance: the first step is the most difficult one ...
You will meet HIM at work, at a nightclub, or on a blind date organized by your mutual friends. By and large, there are no other options, because acquaintance between people of the opposite sex in Korea is possible only when they have general activity(university, enterprise, interest club), mutual friends (the most common pandering takes place here) or a general desire to get drunk and dance (you can and even need to get acquainted in a nightclub and bar!). According to the Korean mentality, making friends and partners in other places, especially public ones, is not accepted and, in principle, indecent. Therefore, sad as it may seem, most often there is no opportunity to get acquainted with a “hot Korean guy” ... After all, only the most atypical, liberated, Americanized and sick in the head Korean will decide to get acquainted with a girl on the street, in a cafe or in another crowded place! Despite globalization, the sexual revolution and rampant Americanocentrism, people here are still committed to tradition, with all the ensuing consequences. And this means that the relationship between the sexes is still complicated, dating is problematic, and life in general is devoid of spontaneity and healthy adventurism ... However, you can always take the initiative into your own hands and “accidentally” pour coffee on HIM (alternative options: knocking over a tray with kimbab, putting a bandwagon, pushing), say "Anyohaseyo!". Such a pseudo-cinematic way of dating, according to the Korean guys themselves, will be regarded as very original and, oddly enough, natural ...
Communication continues, or the fight against culture shock
So, the long-awaited acquaintance with the individual you liked took place. It is impossible to say with complete certainty that your Korean prince turned out to be the owner of a charming smile, a great sense of humor or a chic white Hyundai ... however, with absolute certainty it can be argued that he turned out to be the bearer of an innate sense of style, which, in most cases, is understandable only only to him... Tight leggings, a pink shirt with appliqués, silver boots, earrings with rhinestones and a shiny shoulder bag - this is a very detailed portrait of a Korean style icon... When meeting such a gentleman, you will no doubt have a cultural shock, but there will be something to remember upon arrival at home ... And, most likely, not all the details of this portrait will be inherent in HIM, because, fortunately, not every Korean guy deserves to be called an icon of style ...
So, having come to your senses, you learned his name and age, as well as other facts of his biography that interest you. There is no doubt that you will not remember his name the first time, because it is too atypical for the Russian ear, long and largely meaningless ... Nevertheless, strain your memory and memorize these three syllables or ... flatter compare him with a popular American actor, and henceforth call him Brad, Mel or Pierce ... In the course of further communication, you will notice that Woo Jin, Jae Kyung and Seung Woo are polite, friendly, a little shy and, in general, not too confident in yourself. This is not unusual, since in South Korea most guys are insecure and modest, and they are well aware of this, openly talk about it and are almost proud, explaining the uniqueness of their culture... Koreans are also very pleasant to talk to, however, at the same time, they are uninitiative and completely deprived of the opportunity to do what they want ... This is the tragic conflict in the life of any Korean guy. However, you will have to talk about this much later, but for now, enjoy the conversation.
A Korean man, modest and unsure of himself, upon closer examination will turn out to be a very nice and interesting conversationalist. After all, he knows how to listen carefully, smiles and laughs a lot (often out of politeness, since it is always difficult for him to understand foreign jokes), likes to make non-committal compliments, and when he drinks, he can even “speak beautifully”. The problem is that in order to become “normal,” in other words, to be liberated, he needs to drink at least a few bottles of soju (or, at worst, beer). Only after this symbolic act can a Korean be himself, only after it will he be capable of at least something!
In short, this is where things get interesting. After a couple of drinking games (of which Korean culture is rich and famous), the Korean guy finally forgets about all the prohibitions and taboos and becomes more or less adequate. From this moment on, he has the constitutional right to say and do what nature tells him and his libido to be suppressed day by day. And here Seug Woo, Woo Jin and Do Hyun will not miss their own! However, after the alcoholic dope subsides from his eyes, everything will return to normal and he will again become that cold and reserved man whom you knew when you first met ... or disappear from your life forever. This, perhaps, is the second tragic collision in his life: having finally done what has been banned for so long, he suffers from a guilt complex, tries to forget that he violated his cultural code and immediately returns to his former, orderly life.
Almighty chart
One of the great joys in the lives of Sang Han, Chun Won and Hong Joon is the opportunity to streamline and systematize this very life. That is why his thoughts and actions are largely dependent on the almighty "schedule". An exam, a meeting with friends, a date, a visit to parents, and even a banal shopping trip to the store across the street - all these life events are first carefully worked out in the brain for pros and cons, then carefully planned and scheduled, and already only then, in the case of a favorable combination of circumstances, are they implemented. Thus, any kind of spontaneity and improvisation in relationships is not practiced and in most cases is not welcome. Therefore, dates are scheduled at least three days in advance, and events such as the "first kiss" and "meet the parents" are planned for weeks and months at all. Having a schedule and following it is considered, among other things, a sign of maturity and a good prerequisite for becoming a successful person in the future. By the way, speaking about success, I would like to touch upon the topic of education.
We all learned little by little, something and somehow...
Such a statement, without a doubt, could only belong to Eugene Onegin ... or his descendant, compatriot, idly while away the time within the walls of the university and experiencing all the delights of student life in his own skin. As for the Korean student, such an approach to life and learning in general can only be dreamed of by him in a nightmare. The quality of education, its cost, as well as the unemployment rate in Korea are very high. For these reasons, and perhaps also because of their innate workaholism, Hong Joon, Sog Woo, Seung Joon and other Korean students take their studies very seriously and devote most of their free time to her, their beloved. They study diligently day and night, gnaw at the granite of science at home, at the university and in the library, where they often stay overnight, and they also love to complain about their difficult student life and the terrible difficulties that the South Korean economy is experiencing today ... However, on ordinary days, the inadequate craving for study and the touching resistance of Korean students to entertainment can be easily broken, if there is a desire and an opportunity! But when it comes to the session, even the sexiest and witty girl is powerless here. It is not sad, but in this important period of their lives, black-haired handsome men are ready to prefer an evening in the library and a night in an embrace with their favorite textbook to a romantic date with a beauty. ..
How he lives and breathes...
So, study, and later work, play an important role in his life. There's nothing to be done about it, it's not even worth fighting, because workaholism is something that has been embedded in his subconscious since birth. However, daily and weekly work does not exclude the possibility of sometimes having fun. In his spare time, Joon Pil, Seog Woo, Ki Sung likes to go to a karaoke bar, play rock-paper-scissors, and drink with friends at his favorite bar, a very cheap but well-penetrating drink from a green bottle, whose name is Soju . Among other things, he is not averse to going to a Korean restaurant (every Korean is a patriot of Korean cuisine and, frankly, a real kimchiman), go shopping at the Dongdaemun night market, smoke a couple of cigarettes and let beautiful girl to meet him. In general, these are all the joys that a Korean man experiences in his life.
Love affairs, family affairs
However, one should not lose sight of the joys of love ... Well, you hardly ever heard about the passion and unsurpassed sexual talents of Korean machos, however, as well as about Korean machos in general. But by no means because they do not exist, but because it is not customary to talk about it here. In South Korea, unlike the USSR, sex was and is, but it is not given so much importance, it is not promoted, and even more so, it is not demonstrated if there is no real need for it. Nevertheless, the concept of "Korean lover" has the right to exist, if only because Koreans are great kissers and, they say, are very good in bed. However, it is true that Koreans are in no hurry to tie the knot, just like tying the knot in general. They especially do not like to think about marriage with a representative of another nationality, because despite their fiery love for foreign women, in family matters they still remain nationalists. So, both boys and girls begin to think about marriage closer to the age of 30, and often they don’t think about children at all. Just think, a few decades ago it was customary for families to have 2-3 children, but now having at least one is considered happiness and at the same time a very heavy burden. The reason for this is emancipation, inflation, globalization and other "ation" that adversely affect Korean society. .. However, as long as the question is not about impotence, there is nothing to worry about!
Summary
So, it's time to draw some conclusions and sum up... A Korean man is benevolent, impeccably polite, gallant and courteous. In ten percent of cases out of a hundred, he can speak English tolerably, in five he is handsome, in two he is able to put his hand on your shoulder and even - contrary to all the rules and prohibitions - cross the road at a red light. The brain of a Korean is most often similar to Windows Ex Pi, which, although it works well, often freezes and has to reboot, is still actively used by users in all corners of our planet. .. The heart is far from a fiery motor, but, however, it is quite capable of some feelings, even if it is unlikely to offer you eternal love ... Most often, HE does not have himself or his time, loves to make promises that he obviously cannot perform and promote kimchi and soju, the unsurpassed taste of which is understandable only to Koreans and the like ... But at the same time, HE is pleasant to talk to, kisses well and knows how to speak beautifully. The Korean macho loves to communicate with foreign women, is open to all kinds of cultural (and non-cultural) exchange, but in matters of love and marriage, he remains a consumer of the “domestic product” ...
In a word, you are unlikely to have any serious relationship with a Korean guy, but this does not exclude the possibility of spending good time with him and having fun from the heart. Enjoy life, travel to South Korea and communicate with a handsome and cultured man, taste oriental exoticism and make your trip to Korea memorable for you and all Koreans forever! Be charming and beautiful, enchant, conquer and conquer, in a word, just be yourself, and HE will definitely be with you!
Oksana Shuptar
The first thing that comes to mind is that they are cute, eerily aegyo. So if you like brutal, big and strong men, then you are definitely not in Korea! ( Although you need to remember that there are always exceptions, and first of all, they are guys regardless of the nation.) But if outwardly they are such straight sweethearts, then their character is truly masculine. All Koreans are very hardworking. So if you have a Korean husband, you will definitely never be left without a piece of bread, because they work very hard, and if there is no work, then this is a disaster for a Korean.
They are also real gentlemen. Even if you are friends, they will help you carry bags, open doors, buy all sorts of goodies, cook bulgogi after all. They are very caring, they will constantly be interested in whether you have eaten, slept, dressed warmly, etc. Koreans also text a lot, so if you are targeting a Korean boyfriend, get ready that he will text and call you every second, asking about everything, how was your day, what did you do, what did you eat, so get ready. 🙂
As for dating, it is unlikely that you will be approached on the street to get acquainted, it is even more unlikely that a Korean guy, after your refusal, will continue to try to get to know you and begin to lean on this topic. Of course, there are exceptions everywhere, but the probability of such a scenario is almost zero. Because they are modest and it is not customary for them. And approaching a non-Korean woman is completely a disaster for them, to be honest, if you are in a club or bar, then they can still, and they will gain courage. But do not worry, if you want to get to know them, then sooner or later it will happen, for example, through acquaintances or at an opportunity.
The next item in my review is the post-dating stage. Well, one problem may arise here, he does not know English (of course, Russian), and you do Korean. It doesn't matter, there is always a way out - sign language. 🙂
One more piece of advice, if you still set your sights on a Korean boyfriend, then take the trouble to learn at least a couple of elementary phrases in Korean. And also read Korean history, study the culture. Even with minimal knowledge of Korea, the payoff is huge. They will be so happy. And of course, the universal theme is k-pop and dramas. Don't miss here.
Also, Korean guys are mostly creepy fashionistas. Apart from the general love for Nike sneakers and black-rimmed glasses (by the way, they suit many people), in everything else they follow fashion as it should. And although sometimes they go too far in an attempt to keep up with fashion, they still dress great. You will not see a Korean in a tracksuit, except in the gym. Most likely, an innate sense of style affects, all Asians have it.
Returning to agility. I confess that half of my European friends consider them slightly the wrong orientation. Koreans are too cute. For example, I don’t think that if a guy is powerful, smelly and hairy, then he is a real man! I'm all for beauty. Many Koreans (almost all probably) take care of their faces, which is why their skin is smooth and beautiful. And some people dye their hair blonde (but mostly they get their characteristic brick color) or make a permanent. So, if you see a Korean with dyed hair or a permanent, it means that he is so fashionable! And also, when they walk in couples with girls, it turns into a real tsunami of aegosity and tenderness, because they can wear, and in Disneyland, Mickey Mouse ears and bows.
Summing up everything written above, I can say that Korean oppas are like that due to national characteristics, and when you study their culture, you understand that they should be like that: sweet, modest and responsible.
