With extremely handsome leading men like Jang Dong-gun and incredibly sexy and talented women like Song Hye-gyo, it’s no wonder that people from all over the globe are interested in meeting a Korean single.
KoreanCupid is part of the already well-established Cupid Media network and so you can be sure that it’s a high-quality site, with a familiar user interface, which allows you to connect with potentially thousands of Korean singles.
Even if you’re looking for love internationally or seeking romance from within Korea itself, KoreanCupid will have you communicating with someone who meets all your criteria and more in no time.
So start training your taste buds to appreciate kimchi and honing your voice ready for hours of karaoke before signing up to KoreanCupid.
Pros:
• Largest online dating community for people wanting to meet Korean singles
• Choice of language options: English, Japanese, Korean, Dutch, Swedish and Danish
• Free to signup, create a basic profile and express interest in other member profiles
• Extensive search options allow you to really narrow down results
• Mail translation options significantly reduce language barriers
Cons:
• Translation feature isn’t flawless but certainly better than nothing!
• Strict photo policies can be frustrating and mean several uploads before a picture is approved
• Much larger proportion of Korean women to men, so ladies looking for men may not have the same choice as their male counterparts
How it Works:
Getting started couldn’t be simpler and a basic profile takes literally minutes to create. In fact, first name, gender, password and email address are all that’s needed to sign-up. Having entered these four details, click on the big ‘Join Free Now’ button and you’ll be on your way to finding Korean love in no time.
Once your basic account has been created and you are logged into the site, you’ll be asked to enter more information about yourself. Don’t worry though, there’s nothing too taxing, just things like your eye colour, hair colour, height, weight, etc.
You’ll then be asked to input some a few paragraphs of information about yourself and your ideal match. Finish the profile creation off with a photo and you’re good to start browsing the thousands of Korean singles using the powerful search facility.
Simply select from the handy dropdown menus what you’re looking for in a Korean partner and let the site’s search facility peruse its vast database.
Remember, however, that as a free basic member you will find it extremely frustrating trying to communicate a lot of the time to start with. This is because, as a basic user, you can only directly communicate with members who have a paid membership. Many of the Korean women on the site will expect their potential suitors to upgrade their membership before they do, so be prepared to fork out for either Gold or Platinum membership imminently.
Of course, with an upgraded membership, there are other benefits too. For example, Platinum members can initiate instant video messaging with other users right from the KoreanCupid website – for ultimate ease-of-use.
Advice:
Get used to the KoreanCupid interface and features before upgrading your membership. This will allow you to get the very most out of the site after you upgrade and you won’t waste your upgraded membership time getting to grips with the site.
Final Thoughts:
KoreanCupid is definitely a must-visit for anyone seriously looking for love with a Korean national. Its large user database, intuitive interface and interactive features make it a great starting point.
