The Appeal of Korean Women

Chosun Ilbo newspaper recently had an article on:
Why are American film stars into Korean women? To many, Korean women have great appeal.

The article notes that the appeal of Korean women to American men includes, "“Korean women are submissive and kind. They are known to make breakfast, lunch and dinner for their husbands, help their husbands well, and raise children well."

Moreover, there are also those who feel that in the eyes of Western men, East Asian women possess a sort of mysteriousness about them. For example, an American living in Korea, said, "Even Korean women who are not though of as pretty by Korean men can give a sense of mystery to Western men." Another Anglo noted, “Korean women are gentle, feminine and quiet. I think Korean women are the prettiest of all East Asian women."”

The newspaper article pointed out that western men also seem to find the purity and conservativeness of Korean women attractive. A U.S. soldier in Korea said, "“American women are too materialistic, but Korean women aren't. They seem less snobby."

Some see "“Korean women are conservative. They are conscience of what people around them think, depend on their families and parents and are submissive."

  1. This is the oddest description of Korean women I've ever read, and does not describe one Korean woman I know.
