Christmas in Korea: dating, money and work
One of the things people outside the country get wrong about Korea is that they expect everyone here to be gripped by a gender war: 4B feminist movements, misogynistic men, misandry online, asexual K-pop stars and a nation largely devoid of love despite the glossy veneer presented in dramas. And then they actually come here, and they realize it’s quite the opposite. All those voices online with their huge engagement talking about gender are generally the minority. Instead, Korean people are dating, coupling, wearing matching clothes, sat huddled around coffee tables and filling shops and department stores with their hands holding. Granted, they are probably more likely to have a small white dog in their stroller than a child these days. But never is this couple culture more obvious than at Christmas.
