- Country or region Korea, Republic Of
To be fair, it is too hard to speak on behalf of an entire Nation. I can say that, just like everywhere else, you have those who do not care about origin as long as they find the right person. You also have people who are into foreigners because we are exotic, too. There are plenty of people who marry those not of Korean bloodlines or ethnicity. In fact, I can think of about ten marriages off the top of my head and about the same amount of relationships between Koreans and non-Koreans. Theirs isn’t a “beyond the pale” or arrogant attitude towards interracial relationships. If anything, history proves that foreigners who had come to Korea always took advantage of her people and left chaos in their wake after leaving Korea. With that said, it depends on the person and the middle aged and younger generation, usually, do not take issue with international marriage.
