I got married when I was 28 and was divorced by 30. When asked why my ex married he said "I thought marrying you was what I was supposed to do". If someone marries you out of expectation or they feel they have to, be careful. Now the priority to me is the relationship, not the marriage.

I've been into few relationships and all of them didn't work out, I didn't feel anything towards them like what other people felt to their partners. I don't want to force myself to like someone let alone have kids with that person because for me, my mental health comes first. And relationships won't really work for me when I couldn't even feel literally 'anything', which is the sexual attraction. Do you get what I'm trying to point out?

most weddings in korea happen mostly because the girl get pregnant, not because the guy is mature and wants to marry the girl, And this ONLY if they have a lot of mutual friends and the family knows her, because he can't act indecent in this way.

I'm 32 and happily unmarried. Looking at the lives of my married friends, all I can say is "No, thanks!" All the things you mentioned about married couples like mother in law torturing is all true about India and nobody does the living together before marriage. Here also most people get married through matchmaking websites and we call it arranged marriages. But divorce rate is so low because the women refuse to leave abusive husbands as it brings shame to their families. And they will also start asking about making babies within 1 month of getting married. Such a pathetic system!! I think marriages and kids should be optional for all. Andi if people want to live as single, couples, triples or quadruples it should also be made normal irrespective of gender.

I agree that being single should not have a stigma attached. Not everyone can meet the love of their life by 30yrs of age. Not everyone has their shit together by that time. I’m 50 and divorced. I married the wrong guy when I was younger. Met the almost love of my life after my divorce. But he turned out to be a liar and controlling. Had a couple of bf after that whom I didn’t love bc they were not in love w me. I’m still hopeful about mtg someone to marry. But I won’t marry unless we are right for each other. Many people marry to keep up appearances and are unhappy or soon to be divorced. Too many selfish and immature people out there.

[@AnaCamp001]

@Gabo H No, leaving behind the obvious of being a decent human being, you don't need to work on being someone that fits others standards (the right person for who? according to whose standards? we all are different and want different things), you have to be you and find the right person for you, because that would also imply and mean that the other person found the right person for them, witch is YOU.

[@AnaCamp001]

@Gabo H you didn't understand a single thing, implied something that I didn't say about myself being judgemental about it and said that thriving to be someone that is already in plenitude and happy with themselves first and foremost is selfish. For all your comments around saying that if a woman is not married by 35 she would be wrong and all that bullshit, i think that you really have an issue letting people be themselves and choose what's right for them as individuals, so I didn't expect less.

So basically: 1. Shifting cultural perspectives (more educated, particularly women, better careers, fading traditions) 2. Economics (stagnant pay, rising cost of living) In the end, when you find the right person, you can find a good balance that works for both parties. This issue is actually happening worldwide, but Korea is a current example of what is to come. It's another conflict between tradition and progression, and Korea in particular has been all about progression since the liberation from Japanese occupation at a staggering rate. 3.

I got married at 28, what is late in my country. My Korean wife was 24 at the time and she thought it was very scary and she was very young. However we both learned to not care to much about it. We got married as it was easier to get a residents permanent for here in my country. For support of childeren in the Netherlands you get around 400 dollars every 4 months until they are 18. Health insurance and dentist is free for them to. But we’ll we are not planning on getting childeren soon, we are happy together and we don’t feel the need for having them now. We must live our own life first, before we make a new life. Finally for getting a house, it is impossible in my country to. Especially around Amsterdam where 1 billion won gets you parking spot.. here in the north where I live it is a bit cheaper but still around 400 million won for an normal house. For that reason you have special houses, but those are extreme rare. (I have one after being on the waiting list for over 10 years ! ) so overal I can’t complain, but it would be nice to buy my own house someday.

Many men & women do not understand each other even married for many years. some characters are shaped from family environment and are hidden. Too much influence from world. pretty complex.

[@trynafindme.0]

I love your videos ... Great work ♥️ Keep it up 🙂

[@mike190ify]

I was Married at 47 (being in Music Business) I was a mess and a jerk because I could having a successful band that toured 23 different countries. I wanted to be honest to my future wife, then 1 year later im a dad.. Go figure, So Jina age is only a number and anything is always possible, My wife was 39 at the time, So time table was moving fast.

If you have no urge to actually start a family(expanding your family line) and to have kids with someone that you love and share values with then don't marry. Simple plain logic. Marriage, throughout most of history till the modern era, was about building structure for children and family. A lot of people in the past couple of generations have forgotten the simple precepts of what marriage was designed to do that our ancestors knew very candidly about. Its unfortunate but things change over time for better or for worse. Nobody chooses the times they live in. I completely understand your view of it being an obligation because you live in an environment where it can be seen as such but for a lot it is still a valuable tool for survival and growth. I don't blame you for feeling this way when you seem like a very self focused and independent person which isn't conducive to being in a serious relationship which requires sacrifice, compromise, and a lot of change. To each their own. Keep up the good work.

If you did a study on people on how often they smile in the public when they meet someone and the likely hood they get married. I think you would find a strong correlation. Asian countries people tend to keep a straight face most of the time. I think that is one part that is making it difficult.

[@sunharipatel3831]

I also want to be single ,but my mom doesn't want that

[@Hildegarden]

All of this is not only common in Korea, also in some areas on other countries and it was very common in the past, the older generations had such mentality even in western countries... The fact is that new generations are also the future, so you have the power to change this mentality!

[@akshatamugad4698]

I love the way you explain about marriage in south Korea ❤❤ love from India 🇮🇳🇮🇳

[@ChristopherCPearce]

Interesting video Jina 🤔 As a foreigner, I find it very strange Korean couples don’t live together. So how do you find out all their bad habits before you are married?? 🤣🤣🤣

[@Johanneslol11]

It depends! But yeah mostly they find it out after getting married. One of the reasons why breakup is very common. Furthermore they go to Lots of love motels. And just hanging out a lot together.

[@mitchellmaerz8429]

This is true with a lot of countries Miss Kim some people aren't up to the responsibilities of marriage and family and economics plays a big role people in Korea Japan and even the United States a lot of them for one reason or another are choosing to stay single or not wanting to have a family even just because of many different factors social economical factors don't feel down you're not alone you know you would be a probably a good person and we're all proud of you you're probably be even a really good mother and a good family along with grandparents and in-laws although social economic factors play such a strong role as well too bad the world wants to be more about money and not about family it's not your fault it's as if the world is against that even in the states and in Europe and in Japan and Korea even a lot of people in China they're not wanting to have a family lately economics has a lot to do with that Miss Kim I'm not saying that you're poor or Rich I'm just saying that people are starting to realize that family is only about money than family shouldn't be about money and that's why they're shunning the idea of money not family takes good people to make money work and the Korean people can be very good people so are the Japanese mandarins and sometimes the Europeans and the Americans and Canadians they can be good people it's too bad that money plays a role in how much they are good

I really enjoyed your video, Jina. It’s really interesting keeping up with Korea through your videos. I lived there for ten years. :)

[@MrZw86]

nice video miss

[@aouroram722]

Marriage is just an experience of life. It's depends what you want. If it's gonna be nice marriage or bad, again doesn't matter. We learn everyday new things. Finally, the most important thing is to do what makes you happy always.

[@foxfireglo8290]

You look gorgeous and I love the topic and beautiful city view outside.

[@carlosmartinez-xg2px]

I like how you look like, you are so good looking, I like your hair, your face , your eyebrows, your accent and always your outfits and the best always in your videos is YOU. Always is better be single, from Brooklyn, New York, thank you

[@Oversurge_]

That's creepy as fuck bro. Stop simping

[@hateschocolate2959]

I noticed that Jina's pronunciation improved a lot! I love the way you speak since before tho but I'm loving it moree ~

[@itsjustchrissy5370]

I love you so much. Your always so honest.

[@lalina1304]

If I find someone I fall in love with I want to get married otherwise I don't want to settle.

[@ridita5221]

I saw a video about Korean ghost doctors, and it's very scary.

[@satnamsattykaur]

It’s better to go on holiday with the guy that you potentially want to marry rather than moving in with them but you can always sleep over each other’s places if you live alone and you could rent an Airbnb or a house together for holiday rental type of stuff to experience what they would be like living together that way you don’t have to sign a lease and then get screwed if he ends up being horrible for you or needs et cetera

[@siberiam7186]

its also same in india.

[@subhanichinni2140]

You never disappoints

[@iakoiako5665]

same problems are in my country :/ be happy is more important then bad marriage :D

[@svckshinesunflower1959]

I’m 30 and my boyfriend is korean. We both still enjoy our time but for marriage thing is kinda ridiculous and when we talk about it, we suddenly burst into laughter because marriage in korea is basically a hell imo. 😅

[@Rima-mf4hd]

It's so related with india about mother in law family and all. Parent's pressure to get married. ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

[@qazxcvvcxzaq4819]

Jina, whether you decide to get married or not, some guy is missing out on an amazing woman.

[@gracefulvintage]

Haha...."I need someone to carry my bags & open some cans!" You are so funny but actually those things do come in handy. Might be better to lift some weights & get strong so you don't need a hubs for that. Stay single, do what ever you please, whenever you please. That changes once your married.....

[@erikgeorge3770]

🤗❤️🤗🥰 saranghae ... you’re so beautiful

[@culea0alex]

I want to get married, it can be in Korea or my country Romania.

[@bitteralmonds666]

Marriage is very hard work and expensive. If you are terrible with money and don't work well with any kind of partner, then that's a sign marriage is not for you. Adding to this, the whole "marrying into the family" rather than just the individual is DAUNTING! Dealing with one new person is hard enough as it is, I couldn't imagine living with the whole extended family. ☠💦

[@g3vorld]

it is same as in INDIA🇮🇳 also... unnie ❣️
