      We are just a couple in love, we don’t really do matchmaking. However, we did try to answer the question can I find a Korean Muslim to marry?.

    Hello~
    I was wondering about something.
    Are Korean men attracted to women who are in touch with their feminine side? And is being a bit “Guyish” a turn off to them? Also do some Korean men like a girl being ‘Aegyo’?
    Also I;m hoping to look for a relationship with Korean as you can see with my question. Also I’m 3/4 Mexican and 1/4 South Korean, could that help me at all?

      I’m not sure what exactly you mean by ‘in touch with their feminine side’.

      I am quite “guyish” in some ways. I am a scientist, I love sci-fi, computer games, technology, martial arts and action movies. I rarely wear make-up and I don’t like shopping for clothes. All my friends are guys as I always seem to find more in common with them.

      BUT I don’t like to think that I’m not in touch with my feminine side. I’m a woman, I have no doubts about that, and I believe women should be able to like what they like without being labeled as not being feminine enough.

      Kimchi Man agrees with me, and the thinks I’m feminine despite all that.

      Some Korean guys do like aegyo. Some don’t.

      I don’t see how that could help you…. Maybe I didn’t understand your last question well….

      Be girlish. Do you think woman likes a girlsh man in general? Also, aegyo should not be exaggerated. Don’t learn from korean drama. That’s just drama.

        Of course that some women like girlish guys. Why not?

          I agree…. i think soulmates are people who match each other personality well. We don’t have to be someone other than who we are just to get a boy/girlfriend, or a husband/wife.

    Hello there! :)
    My question has nothing to do with Korean guys, it’s about working in South Korea.
    Well, I’m majoring Mandarin, minoring Japanese (1st year of college yet), learning Korean by myself, and I speak 3 languages (Portuguese: mother tongue; Spanish and English), and of course I shall be a translator in the future if all goes well. My question is: is it too hard to find a job that is not teaching in South Korea? What are my chances to work in SK with a diploma of Level 5 both in Mandarin and Korean? *working hard to reach level 6* ehehehhe

    Thank you for your time reading!

    You guys are so cuteeee!!! I’m loving reading all these answers! :3

    Take care! :*

      Thank you for saying we are cute~~~

      After hearing that it’s really difficult to be only able to give this answer: We have no idea. Kimchi Man is born and spent his whole life in South Korea and I haven’t started looking for a job there yet.

      But since you speak so many languages, it is difficult to imagine that you wouldn’t be able to find a job.

      안녕하세요 anonymous :)

      Please keep reading our blog, it makes us so happy ^^

      Kimchi Man is a native speaker of Korean and I’m just a beginner so I guess neither of us are exactly in your situation.

      Sorry we can’t be more helpful. However, we did write how to learn Korean and how to learn Hangul so maybe you can find something there.

      It’s great that you are so passionate to learn. We both really wish you a good luck. And feel free to ask anything else

    Hi Kimchi Man, do you have any Korean movie recommendations? I hope it’s ok to ask, since this is mainly a love advice blog. Thank you very much in advance (⌒‿⌒)

    1. Kimchi Man Avatar

      Hello. ‘Castaway on the Moon’, ‘Joint Security Area’, ‘Welcome to Dongmakgol’, ‘The Way Home’, ‘Breathless’, and ‘Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter… and Spring’. Some of those movies are only suitable for over 18.

      Have a nice day
