Vietnamese women are preferred because they look similar to Koreans and are willing to live in Korea by economic reasons.

Vietnamese people look nothing like Koreans.

Calmn down. Vietnamese definitely look similar to Korean (and other East Asians) than Europeans and Africans. I put "relatively" between 'look' and 'similar'. Janviermichelle 01:36, 7 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Getting Married in Korea: potential source

Hi, Getting Married in Korea is the title of a book I heard about when I was taking a class from a cultural anthropologist. Maybe someone could add info from this book? Thank you. Info:

  • Kendall, Laurel (1996). Getting Married in Korea: Of Gender, Morality, and Modernity. University of California Press. ISBN 0520202007.

[edit] Surname

Do Korean brides adopt their groom's surname like in Western marriages? 64.30.110.10 (talk) 05:29, 24 December 2007 (UTC)


not usually and not by law, though I have met Korean couples that use the man's last name when in other countries to avoid confusion Zhokuai (talk) 09:50, 26 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Section on gifts between families, etc

This reads as though it has been quickly and carelessly copypasted from a book review somewhere. I don't have the resources to correct it myself, but I think that this section might need to be referenced, or rewritten if the source can't be found. It certainly doesn't read that smoothly at the moment, at any rate. Samf-nz (talk) 06:53, 10 April 2008 (UTC)


[edit] Section on eligibility

this sounds like folklore and does not read well. in fact, it is confusing altogether. the tone is of the paragraph is not authoritative, typos excluding.

[edit] Section on modern practices

could not find more information or reference to 'paebeck'
