90% of foreigners ‘would like to date a Korean’
About 9 in 10 foreigners said they are willing to date a Korean if given a chance, according to a survey conducted by a Korea-based matchmaking firm.
Matchmaker Duo conducted the survey on 1,147 foreign users of Korspot, a social networking ad platform for Korean culture, Yonhap reported.
Of 642 female participants, 27.4 percent picked “interest in Korean culture and language” as a reason for willingness to date a Korean man, followed by 13.1 percent replying to “Korean men seem diligent and responsible.”
On the other hand, 505 male participants had a different stance on why they would like to date a Korean woman. About 23.2 percent said “pretty face” was the reason while 16.2 percent picked “a lot of aegyo.” Aegyo is a Korean word that has the closest meaning to winsome and it is used mostly by women, balancing sweetness, cuteness, poutiness, modesty, thoughtfulness and submissiveness.
About 40 percent of the respondents said that they would not like to date a Korean because of ”cultural differences.”
In the survey, female respondents picked actor Kim Soo-hyun as the most sought-after male Korean celebrity while male foreigners selected actress Jun Ji-hyun. The two celebrities costarred in the popular Korean drama “My Love from the Star.”
