Take this quick quiz to see if you understand Korean culture…

A cousin of mine got into a relationship with a man…
It’s a big deal for her since she doesn’t date around much.
She was only in 3 serious relationships her whole life.

But he was a catch!
She was smitten by his good looks, gentle nature and attention to details.
He was sweet, caring, bought gifts and flowers, and always tried to impress her.
He was a professional martial artist who competed in and won international competitions and ran his own studio.
She was a nurse who worked at a large hospital with a great name.

It was a good match…
Everything seemed to be going great!

After a few months, things started to become serious, and they started to discuss marriage.
And as a first step, she told her family about her boyfriend.
They knew he treated her like a princess, showering her with love, praise and gifts.
They even received a gift basket of fruit he had sent them.

But… they were pushing for a breakup!

They’re kind people, not the type who would outright refuse someone.

But it was clear they disapproved.

Her father asked if she was interested in meeting his friend’s son who was single.

Her mother repeatedly asked if she really did like him.

And when she asked if they would like to meet him.

They said NO.

She loved him, but…

the decision was easy.

She broke up with him because of her parents.

Why do you think they disapproved of her boyfriend?

why
His family name: Kim, which is the same as hers.

(Incorrect Answer – While both have the same last name, they are from different clans, which means they are not related.)

His living situation: lives with his parents and doesn’t own a car.

(Incorrect Answer – This is common for many adults, both male, and female, even for those into their 30s.)

His profession: a professional martial artist.

(Correct Answer – It’s a far cry from the coveted Samsung Man that every Korean parents hopes for.)
