'Korean men look best in their late twenties'

Listen

Korean men look their best in their late twenties, while Korean women hit their prime beauty in their early twenties, a survey shows.

Earlier last week, marriage agencies Bien-Aller and Only-U asked 536 single Korean men and women what ages they considered best for looking good.

While most men (28 percent) thought 27-29 was the best age, 29.5 percent of the women said the 21-23 was the most alluring age, followed by 24 to 26.

“Korean men tend to look their best when they find a stable job after graduating from university,” said Bien-Aller CEO Son Dong-kyu.

“However, Korean women’s beauty peaks when they enter university, because most of them start getting interested in how they look after graduating from high school.”
