We are one! Head-to-toe 'Couple Look'
Don't be surprised if you see a man and woman in identical outfits.
Korean couples love showing off that they are in love.
Wearing identical clothes ('Couple Look') is basic,
and matching colors ('Similar Look') is also popular.
Couple sneakers, phone cases, and rings are essentials!
If you want to feel "We are one,"
try walking the streets in matching outfits with your loved one.
We count 100 days, not just 1 year
The most important anniversary for Korean couples isn't 1 year.
It's the **'100th Day!'**
It celebrates the relationship becoming stable.
Couples exchange flowers, rings, and go on romantic dates.
That's why Koreans have 'D-Day Calculator' apps on their phones.
Counting days from "Today is Day 1!" marks the start of love.
It's mine but not mine: 'Some'
Korea has a unique stage before dating called **'Some.'**
Like the song lyrics "You seem like mine, but not mine,"
it's that fluttering, ambiguous phase where you act like a couple but aren't official yet.
You text and eat together, but
Day 1 only starts after the **Confession: "Will you go out with me?"**
Without a confession, you might stay in 'Some' forever!
Natural meeting vs Blind Date (Sogeting)
How do Korean college students start dating?
The most common way is **'Sogeting' (Blind Date)** arranged by friends.
It's a 1-on-1 meeting over a meal and coffee.
Meeting in groups is called **'Meeting.'**
While many dream of a fateful encounter like in K-Dramas,
in reality, Sogeting is the fastest shortcut to romance!
