Truth About Dating in Korea: Birthrates, Jealousy, Gender Dynamics (David Kim) #038

This week, I interview David Kim from the podcast channel Korean Pizza Club. We delve into the Korean dating scene, discussing why Korea now has the lowest birthrate in the world, the differences between K-dramas and real-life dating, why you should be prepared to be love bombed, the meaning of "skinship," and finally, the one quality about Koreans in relationships that might frustrate you.

The goal is to go as deep as possible and to really understand where we all come from and how much culture influences our life. 🎙️ Want to be a guest on the Podcast? https://forms.gle/J7CjyY1s7jKkLDEa9 Support the Podcast (money will be used for operational budget/equipment) https://tr.ee/0SzhdgntdC Make your Podcast with Streamyard and get $10 in credit: https://shorturl.at/knzA2 Youtube Channel: ‪@DatingBeyondBorders‬ / datingbeyondborders / datingbeyondborders Editing by Ivan Popovic: https://shorturl.at/rOsC5 Instagram: @i__popi__ Tune in on other Podcast Platforms 🎧 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/4aoPPtJxxcP974vv0Ly95g?si=16173891706d44de Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/dating-beyond-borders/id1718400067 0:00 Intro 2:00 Culture shocks in the States? 3:30 What should foreigners know about Korea? 5:25 Why Korea has the lowest birthrate? 10:30 Do Korean men have "toxic" masculinity? 15:09 Gender role dynamics 17:20 How Koreans prefer meeting 18:40 How do Koreans approach intimacy? 21:20 What do Koreans think of dating apps? 25:30 K-Dramas and their influence on the dating scene 31:15 What do Koreans think of foreign women? 36:00 Are Korean women jealous? 46:40 Are gender roles big in Korea?
