The social institution of Korea leads to it as well. I mean how many extremely attractive Korean girls do you know go out on a very regular basis and drink the night away.. willing to go home with guys for one-night stands.. and all the rest. While that exists a little bit back in the University campuses across US/Canada/etc.. its not all that common after university. Over here in Korea, it is very common.

The high rate of divorce compared to other countries is shocking following the cases of high numbers on Cesarean sections, smoking, orphan export and car accidents. Couples divorcing within three years of marriage make up half of all divorces and a financial problem in a household as a cause of divorce has increased from two percent to 14 percent in the last ten years.

Divorce becomes the choice of half of married people. Unexpectedly, one often makes a mistake when talking about family and marriage with others. I asked to a mid-thirties attractive single woman having a professional job, "Aren't you considering marrying soon?" I was embarrassed with her answer, "I did and came back," she answered with little importance. When I received a wedding invitation from a divorced man, I remarked with well wishes, "Oh, good for you. A second marriage is not a defect any more these days." He said, "Actually, it's the third time." It is becoming a new custom that asking about marriage status is bad manners for anyone.
