| I spent a lot of time in Itaewon in 1996. My guess is that he was eating, drinking, shopping or working. |

Rational self-interest
but, seriously, did you read the thread? Some people have already laid out speculation for motives. And how long have you lived in Korea? Are you blind?
Have you ever met anyone with divorced parents? How long did it take them to admit it to you? |
One of my good friends is a Korean guy with divorced parents. I knew this pretty early on. He's married to a very nice American woman, and he's probably one of the nicest and coolest Korean guys I've met. |

My parents are divorced and remarried, and I'm very close with my stepmother. It's not a big deal to me. Whenever I mentioned any of the above in response standard "getting to know you" questions from Koreans their reaction was immediate and awkward. They always made a point of telling me that Koreans don't discuss such things, and they'd advise me not to mention it to anyone else again.
My Korean ex-girlfriend of many years also insisted that I never speak of any of this to her family, because if they did they would oppose her marrying me as children of divorcees are not considered to be marriage material. |
