forget it - your chances of getting Korean citizenship is 0.1%
you have a better chance if you are a millionaire, have been married to a korean for 10+ years, speak, read, write korean perfectly and know the last 4000 years of korean history and culture.... |

why would someone want korean citizenship? this country is so small, practically being squeezed out into the pacific and you've got north korea blockading you. it's too crowded. some people are so unhappy they commit suicide because they can't leave. But then you might actually love or like korea, then all that doesn't matter of course.
which reminds me. Do you think I can make big money if i marry a korean that wants to enter the united states? Or if they have that kind of money, they probably don't need to go that route anyways right? Can't you get into the states if you have money to invest? |

My dad wanted to go to the States when he was 24. Came with little knowledge of English and little to no money. Now I consider him about a regular middle class guy that can actually understand/speak a conversation in English. |
