1. Matching is cool
When u 1st get 2 Korea, u will almost certainly laugh at couples in matching outfits. Fast-forward a few mos, & it will bcome a relationship norm. Whther it’s couple , cases, togs, Koreans take style srsly. So y not use it 2 show the world who ur boo is?

2. Uu need to put a ring on it
Just like Beyonce said, if u like it, u gotta put a on it. Korean cpls wear matching 's as a sign of being in a committed relationship,& it’s often used 2 mark either the pt at which a couple bcms ‘official’ or a couple’s 100th-day anniversary

3. Hope you like anniversaries!
And it’s not just the 100-day mark u can expect to celebrate. Korean cples clbrte in 100-day increments counting from the 1st dy of their relationship– at 100 days, 200to500 & 1k dys.Younger couples (usually teens) celebrate their 22nd day tgether

4. Cute’s not just for the girls
From using cute emoticons on popular messagingapp KakaoTalk to getting inked w/ an armful of cartoon tattoos, boys are just as cute as the girls in Korea. So it makes sense that couples aren’t afraid to show .

their cute side by buying each other candy, holding hands in public or eating dessert together in a pink-themed cafe. No one’s going to question your masculinity.

5. Sharing is caring
If you go out for dinner, expect to share. Many Korean restaurants serve dishes made for two people (which is why some places turn single diners away). The popular Korean dessert bingsu almost always cmes in an enormous, towering bowl, and sharing a bowl of

bingsu is a popular date activity. It’s normal for couples to share a milkshake or frappuchino in cafes as well.

6. Say it with flowers
With so many anniversaries, it’s no wonder that Korean couples regularly give small gifts. Head out on any weekend night and you’ll see girls carrying bouquets left, right and centre. To sate this demand, Korea has a thriving industry of florists.

7. Koreans celebrate White Day
Held one month after Valentine’s Day, White Day is anther holiday celebrating love. Koreans do Valentine’s a little differently than Westerners: like Japan, Valentine’s Day sees women giving chocolates or other tokens of affection to men. On White

Day, men return the favour, gifting white-coloured candy, jewellery or other presents to their lady love.

8. Keep the PDA PG
Korean couples might match their outfits, bt they’re much more reserved about public displays of affection. HH's is nrmal bt kissing on the lips? Not so much. If u’re frm a more openly affectionate country, save ur lovey-dovey displays for somewhere mre private

9. Koreans stay in touch
If you’re dating a Korean, expect to stay connected all the time. Wi-Fi is everywhere, and most Korean cellphones come w/ unlimited data packages, so don’t be surprised if your new love checks in with you throughout the day or wants to know what you ate

after every single meal; it’s a sign they care about you.
