Do Korean Men Want to Marry Foreign Women? | Street Interview 

This topic has become so ridiculous and repetitive.....the way they talk about foreigners, the obsessive attitude of foreigners towards Koreans, the stereotypes on both sides, the ignorance on both sides....🙄🤌

I don't understand why people get so offended when Asians prefer to marry within their culture..there not the only culture who does that..just let people marry who they want to

I've been following that channel for years, and the same questions are now asked over and over again. : ( I'm getting disappointed, and i am hoping that in the future, we will get to hear more important and diverse opinions from that side of the world. You have a great opportunity to ask stuff that matters, but instead, you guys have been asking the same questions, in a different way, so many times. Why? There's so much going on in the world and I'd love to hear what they, in Asia, think about it ! Please, become Asian Bosses again !

Im in an interracial matriage and vomit everytime i see the "oh my asian husband or wife does this ooohhh aaaahhh" they are your spouse so stop yellow fever for views. I hate when people just point out their spouse is asian versus treating them as a person

For me, having a different culture with your partner is very cool, because I'm a curious person who enjoy learning foreign language, foreign culture etc... And it's definitely not a negative point if everyone in the relationship has the same will. Willing of knowing each others, each other culture and treat each other with love and kindness. Patience and sweetness. And COMMUNICATION ! I mean, we have a say in french I really trust. When you want, you can.

7:37 lmao the little girls filming tiktok dances in the back 💀

I love how they all think for themself even when their friends have different opinion

These dudes be like, "If these foreign chicks are going to fetishize me because of hallyu, then I might as well capitalize on it." XD

the way this grown man just said he doesn’t eat vegetables. @10:38 has me cacklinggg this has to be a joke 😭😭😭🤣

If they want to increase their birth rates, interracial marriages help! Like other East Asians, Koreans are raised in a hyper competitive super stressful society, so marrying a foreigner bold enough to immigrate their country will remind them that it's a huge world out there and there's more to life than just chasing down an office job at a big conglomerate and having kids before 28.

*HOW MANY TIMES WILL YOU VISIT THIS TOPIC?🤦🏽‍♀️*

although all men in the video seems to be very young, they gave very mature and thoughtful answers. i wish them all a happy and healthy life whatever they are up to.

I think not dating someone due to not being able to share the same childhood memories (because you are from differing cultures) is a strange excuse. Why does that matter? Also, not everyone who grew up in the same country at the same time has shared memories. Also, the guy who only keeps in touch with his Dutch school friend because she is pretty is a bit creepy! That is such a weird reason to give.

I am in a mixed marriage and it has been wonderful, exciting, interesting, and annoying many times, but I would not change it for all the money in the world. 31 years together. The most important thing to do in such a case is to sit down and talk about what matters most and what upsets the other person most. My husband and I set a few rules and after years of being married, we still follow those rules. Respect for each other and their family, no cheating allowed, spending should be agreed by both parties, etc. Everyone is different and different things bother them. Good luck!

Such thoughtful responses!!

Even though the number of international marriage rose, I can speculate majority of those are reported to be with other Asian countries especially among Chinese and Japanese being the top marriage followed by UK and American but even so it can equate to those other Asian countries that I haven't included. So it wouldn't mean that they are likely dating outside of race. Just dating people of countries that somewhat have cultural similarities and identity.

Whenever this topic comes up I’m amazed at the shortsighted answers. Culturally insular. Is it low self esteem? Is it complete disinterest in the rest of the world? Everyone can make a relationship successful if there’s love and respect. It doesn’t matter where people are from. And, btw, not all foreigners are American or speak English. Most are of other nationalities.

A more interesting interview is to ask Korean guys 1) would you date / marry a Western woman? 2) if yes, would your answer change if that woman was a feminist (given that many Western women are feminists and outspoken about it)? 3) would you share responsibilities such as cooking, housecleaning, and childcare? 4) would it bother you if your girlfriend / wife made more money than you did? 5) if your girlfriend / wife wants to attend a march or protest for women’s rights (e.g., advocating for equal pay or reproductive rights, or protesting against sexual harassment), would you join her? 6) how would your parents feel if you dated / married a woman who self-identified as a feminist?

was this filmed at a fashion week event or why does everyone look so cooooool!!?! love it!!

The guy in that hat that preferred dating foreigners because of texting habits has been traumatized lol.

We don’t want to know who Korean & Japanese people are interested in dating anymore. Its an outdated topic. I would like for Asian Boss to focus on relevant news country wise & discuss that with the respective public It doesn’t have to be sensational news - we are loyal & will support & watch good content ❤️🥲🤌🏽

As a chinese guy who lived in Korea before (3 years ago) in correction here they see foreigners as a hook up or a possible short term girlfriend as they see Korean women as a hook up, long term girlfriend and wife. And by foreign I mean Eastern European women with blonde hair and blue/green eyes.

That guy who was cheated on almost made me cry, I can tell he still feel hurt.

You really have good street interviews. It's good people seem to feel free answer questions the way they feel without friends inhibiting them..

I love how the devil guy with the red eyes says "I live the life of an artist", it's a meme 😆😆 love the eccentricism

when will you do ''what japanese people think of Oppenheimer?'' seems like it's a hot topic now on the internet. Some misunderstood japanese thinking it's offensive to them.

Highlights 💓 Some Korean men find mixed-race children beautiful and are interested in dating foreign women. 🌐 Dating foreigners allows for cultural exchange and experiencing different cuisines. 🤝 Language barriers and cultural differences can be challenging in relationships with foreign women. 🇰🇷 Many Korean men still prefer dating Korean women due to shared cultural understanding and better communication.

Fighting in a different language might be better, you don't end up saying every little thing! Rather just make up and move on 😌 Also, not being able to communicate with your in laws sounds like a win 😅

Certified Gold!!!!!

For those who don't know, there has been a trend that many Vietnamese women have the preference of getting married with foreigners, including Koreans, Taiwanese, Japanese and Chinese. The reason is the majority of the families of these females are poor, and they hope that when their daughters get married to foreign wealthier families, they can receive financial incentives from them. However, it is not the sole cause. In Vietnam, family violence is still problematic when husbands can hit wives frequently, but there are so few cases tackled by family laws. Meanwhile, the standards for getting married of a myriad of women in Vietnam are such higher that numerous Vietnamese men cannot meet. These social issues have a contribution to the determination of Vietnamese females to get married with foreigners. In some region, it has become a lucrative service, and unfortunately, sometimes, it could become human trafficking, such as the transactions that usually happen in the borders between Vietnam and China as weel as between Vietnam and Cambodia.

A small yet amusing observation. Over the years I’ve watched Korean men speak on this channel and elsewhere, and I noticed that specifically Korean male voices are predominantly deep af, unlike other Asians. Why is that? Who knows, just an interesting fact

I luv ❤️ 😍 this topic.

From my own experience, The biggest problem is 98% of Foreigners(mostly Non-Asian) who are opened to dating/marrying Korean men are either 1. Asian Fetish 2. Obsessed with Kdrama / Kpop 3. Fantashize anything Asiatique It's rare to find Foreigners who date Korean but not interested in any of 3 above We all know that Asian guys are usually not seen as attractive or prioritized when it comes to dating.

surprise to find this channel still exists

The man dressed as a devil.. he said he was called out for not leaving leftovers. It seems silly that his friend’s foreign gf would expect him to. He’s in his homeland right?

The texting thing would drive me crazy too. They had a lot of good points, but even people face these issues within their own culture like food, religion, different ideas, or personalities. I think though if you have relationship problems with people who speak your own language, your going to have even bigger problems with those that don’t. Communication is big factor in any good relationship, so if your constantly misunderstanding each other its just not going to be a healthy relationship.

Good idea ,not bad 🥰

cringe topics over and over lately

Another commenter mentioned this, but the questions asked needs to drill down more on daily life challenges. The people interviewed say they prefer dating/marrying foreign women, but when mentioning specifics of daily life like diets, loyalty, fidelity, etc they all seemed to expect the foreigner to understand and conform to their values. That's not how it works. The foreigner would likely expect the Korean man to conform to their ways. An example would be for the Korean man to move abroad, learn the local language, work a job there and deal with his foreigner in-laws. He is expected to adapt and accept all the challenges thrust upon him. Would he still be okay with marrying a foreigner for a pretty baby that may grow up to look weird?

When was this filmed? Everyone was wearing jackets, except for the playboy guy showing his bicep!

I'm dating a Korean and he's a sweetheart. I love the idea of mixing two different cultures together. We can share our experiences and lifestyles.

The guy with a ling hair is so funny. He always holds the mic.

This video is definitely for the american kpop girl demographic

Interviews are always in Seoul. I lived in the 전남 province for five years. I met and saw quite a few Korean men who married foreigners from the Philippines, Vietnam, and China.

My boyfriend is korean. We’re dating since 5 years and I couldn’t be more thankful to have him by my side. Culturally we never had an issue, I also get along very well with his parents. We’ve visited Seoul in January this year (My boyfriend and me live in Berlin) and when we say goodbye at the airport his Mum and me cried as we have such a good relationship and miss each other dearly. I’m glad to see that koreans are more and more open for dating a foreigner. ❤️

Alot of koreaboo in the comment

I’ve heard many of them say that they would date a foreigner, but they pretty much won’t marry one

I love it how they can be a group buh always have different ideas😊😊

Just because a foreigner comes from a more open minded culture does not mean that every foreigner is also super open minded in the sense of cheating and having a lot of friends from the opposite sex. I am sure there are also Koreans who cheat on their partner and are pretty open minded so you can’t put that on culture, it depends on every person individually. Also eating habits are not something that make or brake a relationship, partners who eat the same things do break up a lot of times and partners where one is a vegetarian and the other eats meat does not mean the relationship is doomed to fail.

The guy in the pink jacket was so funny! :)))

Asian Boss is back to being not very deep. lol. Unfortunately, we’re no longer in 2018.

We are the same people who live on the same planet If she is attractive, I can get married anytime~~ so,, where is she😢

Perhaps your channel could explore "Over 55 years old Korean men in 3 categories widowers , divorced and bachelor's.. to get their thoughts on dating or marrying age appropriate foreign women .. Having children wouldn't be part of the equation . Would older men open to it ? 😊

12:14 is sooo fine. also i liked his ideas generally. i can relate.

Remember most interracial dates in Korea are other Asians with other Asians. It’s when Asian an white or Asian an black that’s when cultures get really different an new things happen

The guy with the red eyes and devil outfit though! Lol

❤

As a Korean-American (born in U.S., both parents Korean) woman, I can understand the different perspectives. Since I’ve lived in the U.S. my entire life, I definitely think, talk, and believe more like an American. I actually don’t speak Korean well at all. Though I can understand basic Korean conversations. Ironically, when my mom and I visited S. Korea in 2015, I felt like a foreigner (despite multiple trips in my lifetime). Currently, my sister is married to a Caucasian American. My cousin from Korea met and married a Korean woman. Interestingly, they met at a university here in the U.S..

The texting link on a phone is like a text forum to me. 📱 📱

The guy who was cheated on was really cute! And he’s right. I would never stop someone nonstop. I would be mortified!

havent we seen this topic before? like more than once?

Interesting to see how the Korean Culture is changing.

Was this filmed during a fashion week? Did the reporter seek out guys with the most unique outfits?

It’s funny how they talk about culture clashes when I see more Korean couples fighting and breaking up over the most trivial issues when Korean guys with a foreign woman despite the cultural differences they are still able to understand and tolerate one another hence making the relationship a lot stronger.

Saying you are motivated by mixed kids is like saying you objectify a woman just for that outcome. It is unappealing. Mixed kids not mixed stop objectifying. Please. (I am mixed)

It makes sense that international marriage is on the rise in places like Korea, Japan, and SEA. Reason being that for example Westerners coming into Korea typically come from richer nations and are more financially stable, after all it costs a lot to relocate (this may not apply to students or teachers). Same applies for Korean men in specific marrying women from SEA countries as Korea is more financially well of than say Vietnam. On top of that because foreigners are viewed as "exotic" they are more physically appealing. This is true even for men/women of color which are exempt from the K-Beauty standards (Different boats for different folks). Unfortunately this issue is happening all over the world, due to late stage capitalism younger generations are finding it increasingly harder financially to settle down

In the Netherlands we have 178 ethnicities only in one place Rotterdam,🌍 it means that you can no longer say Dutch, we are mixed. We have all kinds of eye colors, you can be white, light brown or even brown with bright blue , grey ,or green eyes,💞 it makes Dutch people beautiful in diversity. 💯Things like food,culture,language, you can overcome it if you love each other❤ and are open minded . ☺💯

These men were each so lovely in their own unique way. 🥰

Some say they want to relate to each other with their partner and thus prefer a Korean woman but I feel that it’s even more boring that both have the same experience. Because of that, you will rarely talk about it, which makes it boring in the relationship in my opinion. I am European and am happy together with a Chinese woman and we share a ton of perspectives from each others culture, which makes the relationship work really well. I wouldn’t want someone from my own country as we won’t have such interesting conversations.

They want to ride white horses

Bro when u go interview in indonesia

How come no one mentions love. That's the root foundation of a relationship.

People don't choose who to marry or fall in love with so not until this happens people know for sure if they will or will not marry a foreigner.

The most disappointing part of a Korean-related video is that Hayun is absent.

First of all people didn't need to search Nationality people need to search there love.. like no i only Marry to thai , Indian,Korean, japnes etc ....noo don't search nationality search who loves you who understand you... every one is beautiful and handsome in their own way no one is ugly __

3:10 to my people people, just gonna say it; he's gonna lose his hair. that's all I'm gonna say

So, technically anyone outside of Korean citizenship is classified as a foreigner, even Korean-Americans born and raised by Korean families abroad. No dude, people who constantly text you isn't about being Korean or not Korean. It's just called insecurities.

So language is their major concern.

Just be yourself. Foreign women ( American women) want to be seen as human first. I understand how language barriers play a role in causing frustration. It's all about the vibe! Be authentic and see what happens 😁

I get that Korean society is still pretty conservative, but in this day and age, these types of questions shouldn’t even be asked anymore.. 😒

1:17 what he hell is that goofy ass drip

When Korean will legalize marriage, or at least civil union act, for same sex couple ? 😢 For me, as a foreigner married to a Korean guy, it's not a question of equality or democracy, but technical issues, such as hospital issues or marriage visa.

Can we interview the the devil with the red eyes? I want to know why? Was he on his way to cosplay event? Is cosplay popular in Korea? How does the Korean community react to these individuals? What would happen if they showed up at work like that?

Many Korean guys would say 'Yes" if they can have the chance to marry Foreign Woman since young Korean Women's standards (Their hubbies must have a tall body and good-looking face, big bucks, a luxury car, and an awesome house)to be someone's life partner is very complicated for Korean guys, honestly.

Koreans Carried Asian male representation

Korea has the highest DV cases in Asia with 8/10 women suffering some sort of verbal, mental and physical abuse from Korean men. Infact Vietnamese, Japanese, South east Asians, Russian women suffer extreme violence from Korean husbands with many prominent cases.

I think I want the guy in the dark glasses with the black jacket on. He seems to be the kind of type I’m looking for I would be interested in getting to know him bette….alas too bad I’ll get to never find out who he is or have any contact with him

Oh my goodness. The first guy wants to marry foreigner because his child will look great 😂 oh boy

im a pilipina my friend she Married a korean Guy, she can speak korean languages

Whole world finds Russian women pretty... I agree👍🏼

I do wonder why things so simple in other countries are such big issues in Korea

It was very funny and nice at the same time to hear the guy who doesn't like vegetables, it is one of my objections to living in Korea. I hate them too, people there eat them all the time and they are everywhere. You see, there is always somebody different to suit you😂😂😂.

Regarding appearence- The elephant in the room. They like European women also because THEYRE SLENDER/THIN. Ive seen many videos and many ( not all) koreans are hung up on looks. Being thin is part of their beauty standard along with small faces, clear even skin, big eyes, fair skin, high bridge noses. Those that are attracted to slender/thin people arent attracted to thick/overweight Americans looks wise. Asian people always watch their weight as a rule. Always dieting. Americans are into body acceptance and even accepting obesity . Im only commenting this because i think alot of American women need a reality check of ONE of the reasons korean men arent into them. Other huge ones is language barrier and culture . Asian culture is conservative and polite. Honorifics is huge also. Americans are focused on self and korean think and are raised to think of EVERYONE.

The guy on 2:55 😍 is so handsome

What do the women think and what has the divorce rate been in the past 3-5 years?

Instead of interviewing at the fashion show venue, why don't you ask on the street?

OKAY. I'm kind of tired of this question/discussion being asked. I don't know... maybe it's me projecting or maybe it's just me generally tired of it but like this question is so stupid.

Seems thay have more concerns about cultural differences. I would take it as a learn experience. But i do understand their concerns, they see non asian people, too different from them.

There is no country that had only beautiful people, there are beautiful people in every country,and beauty is in the eye of the beholder,and how many people from different land and culture had koreans met to decide that russians are more beautiful, it sounds ignorant.

10:29 we can tell bro by your look that you don't like veggies
