Intro

 This week, I learned about 'International marriage'. International marriage was rare in the past Korean society. This is because Confucian thought was widespread. And emphasizing a single nation, Korean has antipathy for international marriage. From changing the older generation to the new generation, people were interested in international marriage. The imbalance sex(men and women) ratio fueled international marriage. In addition, the more freedom of love is an increase, the more marriage also increased freely. Thus, international marriage is not longer strange.

 Topic : Why Korean males married to foreign females?

 At first, the economy of Korean society is developed, rural people have moved to the city. Men who capable of labor have remained in the rural areas, but many women move to cities. So, imbalance of disparity of sex ratio is the largest in rural areas. And not be able to find women easily in rural, men tend to depend on the international marriage.

 At second, cities developed the economy, industry and commerce. So, many foreigners gathered in cities. In fact, we look that foreigners who came to Korea in order to earn the money marry with Koreans.

At third, accordingly to the liberalism, the more freedom of love is an increase, the more international marriage also increased.
