2. My opinion (why korean males married to foreign woman?)
International marriage was not the universal case of Korea, but some area like countryside. Because of industrialization, young migrated to city to get job. But recently, spouse shortage is not single factor of them.
I think 'why korean males married to foreign woman?' is not proper question in nowadays. Correct question is 'why international marriages increased?' Anyway, main reason of international marriages is change in confucian and conservative thinking. Community, especially family, should not allow aliens because of its purity and durability. But nowadays, exclusive group can't be survived in highly changeable enviroment. So it need to embrace 'strange people' to their community. When aliens are proved that they aren't undermine the community but boost the diversity of community, members will have a good feelings to them.
