It is likely they can decide whether you are the right one for their daughter\/son. Additionally, opinions from siblings of your date might affect your love life as well. Even if her\/his family is happy with you, a fortune teller may also interfere with your romantic relationship. The culture of <strong>\uad81\ud569<\/strong><strong>(goong-hap<\/strong>: marital compatibility predicted by a fortune teller) is common in Korea, whether you take it seriously or not. Many happy couples were told to break up by their fortune tellers.

Many Korean couples celebrate multiple anniversaries. \u00a0For example, couples will celebrate their 100<sup>th<\/sup> day from the first day they met. Some even celebrate their 50<sup>th<\/sup> day. The longer you date, the more celebrations are coming along. 200<sup>th<\/sup> day, 300<sup>th<\/sup>, 400<sup>th.<\/sup> and so on.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The concept of event cafes is new to me. I can\u2019t give you the most current update on event cafes since I have never been to one. I can only guess Korean couples, nowadays, book an event caf\u00e9 to celebrate their special days, instead of going to movies. (that\u2019s what I would do to celebrate the 100<sup>th<\/sup> day, if I didn\u2019t forget.) Using event cafes may be a good idea if your date is into celebrating big, but, to each his own!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ol start=\"3\">\n<li>You had better know how to use <strong>\uce74\ud1a1(Kakao Talk<\/strong>: a free mobile instant messaging app) to text your date<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"[\ub69d\ub531\ub69d\ub531 \uce74\uce74\uc624\ud1a1] \uce74\ud1a1 \uc54c\ub9bc\uc74c\uc774 \uc0c8\ub85c\uc6cc\uc9d1\ub2c8\ub2e4\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/yJRGYkBprJg?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Kakao Talk is one of the most used messaging apps in Korea because it provides free texts and calls as long as you have an internet connection. Since you can connect to the internet almost everywhere in Korea, most people communicate through this app. Given this fact, you can expect to hear the distinctive Ka Talk message sound throughout the day in Korea, including silly cartoon emoticons. Although don\u2019t panic if your date sends you numbers of texts that make you start to think whether she\/he is a stalker. It is common courtesy to ask your date whether you ate lunch,, where you are, at or even what you are doing at that moment. It may feel that you are probed, but your date can be simply being nice.
