From October, Korean men planning to tie the knot with foreign women will be able to attend a program to learn about interracial marriage before their wedding....
Following the completion of the program, the men will receive 1 million won ($820) in financial aid for their wedding....
The city will also provide Korean and job training courses to married immigrants to help them get jobs. To support immigrant women delivering babies even before they get used to life here, postpartum care and subsidies for babysitters will be provided, too.... |

well there's so many more korean men + chinese/s.east asian women marriages (think the rural areas) than the other dynamic you speak of... that it makes sense if you were to do this at all... |

Thing is...

Seoul Metropolitan Government (SMG) said the plan will help married immigrants settle down as a member of society, not as a foreigner.

...they might as well put the whole country in that program then. Just the husbands isn't going to change society's view  |
