Hello everyone. In this video, we are going to compare some statistical data later. The content will focus on the economic gap between domestic marriages and international marriages. Let's take a look at this. First of all, let's see. Korean women say not to marry men who earn less than 5 million won a month. They seem to set the bar at 500. If you are a man who earns less than 500, it is advised not to get married. It is known that if you are willing to compromise a little, around 400 or even 400 is acceptable. When it comes to marriage, it's best for women to meet men with high incomes. Looking at friends around you, if you earn less than 500 a month, you have to work together, which leads to more troubles, financial problems, and often ends up leaving the children with the in-laws. But is there a guarantee that a man earning more than 500 a month will meet you? Just because someone earns money, it doesn't mean that life will be smooth sailing after marriage. Once you get married, it's not the end of life. If a husband earns more than 500 a month, is there a guarantee that he will take care of you?

If you go beyond that, from a woman's perspective, you can control children's education and growth more meticulously. You can enjoy personal time, but if both are busy making money, there is no solution. Always consider your husband's income before marriage. Check the capabilities, car ownership, house ownership, etc. It's better to marry based on conditions rather than love. But when you look at the comments here, it's encouraging, it's right. It's exactly right. Please don't delete this post, both the post and comments are precious. My husband earns less than 500, and I'm pregnant. I totally agree. Next, it's a valid point. Honestly, this was the reaction. Not all women are like that, but the majority are. In my opinion, they prioritize conditions over love. In reality, it's the same in our society. Also, the higher the income, the better, but 500 is usually considered the minimum limit.

And up to 400, yeah, it's a bit disappointing, but still up to 400 million won is still acceptable. Now, those below 400, ranging from 200 million won to 300 million won, are considered mediocre. Men say, Can't you even handle that? or something like that. However, in South Korea, most men in their 30s are in the 300 million won range. And those earning over 5 million won per month are a tiny minority, a minority. And when you analyze Cain, for example, you can see that there are men in the 300 million won range who feel no intellectual charm and men earning over 5 million won who have no intellectual charm. In cases like this, if it's a typical company, then who would you choose? You would choose the latter. Even if there is no intellectual charm, you would choose a man who earns a lot of money. Is this the right thing to do? I don't think so. And there are also cases where, for example, if a man's income is insufficient, of course, for oneself, it's over 500 million won.

I want a man who earns money, but I haven't met one. Why don't those men choose women like me? Men with no abilities, men with no charm, what should we do? They earn around 3 million won and when they do two or three part-time jobs, they increase it to the 5 million won range. It's like being a slave, just rolling along. They give about 200,000 to 300,000 won for expenses, and they don't do part-time jobs themselves. In our country, the dual-income household ratio is not good. According to OECD statistics, even working just one hour a week is considered as working there. That's how much our country doesn't do. Even in neighboring Japan, when children go to daycare or kindergarten, many parents work part-time to supplement their income. However, Koreans just keep growing and growing, rather than taking on a supportive role through part-time jobs, they wait for their husbands to come home after work.

Arguing about coming or not coming, things like that, for example, for deliveries and such, spinning around in circles like this. So, men are having a hard time right now. Even looking at the statistics, this is data from 2021 from the Statistics Korea. The average monthly income for men in their 30s is 5.31 million won. After deducting taxes, it's less than this. Even if you add up all the professionals in major corporations, construction companies, and public institutions in Korea, it won't be much different. So, the rest of the people, especially women in South Korea, are not satisfied with this. So, for those who have uncertain incomes, I believe that marrying a woman is likely to lead to unhappiness. They might pressure their husbands for not earning much money, compare with others, and demand a lot. They might push their husbands to work harder, and the problem with these high standards of women is that they are too demanding.

You have to go to the villa early with your friends and compare, the cost is enormous, right? For example, you have to travel abroad once in a while in your usual spending habits. You also need to buy luxury goods once in a while. Moreover, in the case of children's education, mothers compete with each other. If you don't study hard when you are young, you compete with each other based on that. There is a problem with children's spending habits. No matter how much money you earn, if you spend a lot, it's like pouring water into a leaky bucket. Also, take a look at the recent Korean Deloitte Group's Deloitte Consumer Signal Index. Korea ranks 4th in visible consumption among 20 countries. This is probably a company that consults on nuclear issues. The survey method targeted 1,000 adults aged 8 and above in each country and covered a total of 20 countries worldwide.

I conducted surveys and in-depth interviews online and offline. Among 20 global countries, Korea ranks high in visible purchases. The United States is in 15th place. We usually think of the U.S. as a country that consumes a lot, so why did the rankings turn out this way? It's because Korea ranks high in visible purchases compared to income and salary. The spending on luxury items and accessories is high. This survey was conducted in May 2024. Recently, it seems that Korea's luxury consumption is at the top, right? Of course, men may earn the money, but it's the women who do the spending. The pocket money for Korean young people is around 200,000 to 500,000 won, which is quite a lot. Not everyone is like that, but there are many people like that. So, the luxury consumption trend in Korea is mainly led by women. In other words, what I'm trying to say is that among the major 20 countries, Korea is...

There are many high-level countries. Nevertheless, Korea has a high visibility purchase in terms of income. It means consuming. What is visibility? It's consumption that is done to show others. In a way, it can be considered essential consumption. For example, luxury goods or fine dining represent this. Visibility, not a mistake, but visibility. So, in the case of people, their consumption tendency is very high. So, in order to satisfy these people, the standard of living is high. If you have one child, it's difficult even with 500. So, the argument made by these people is not wrong, but it's not impossible either. When people come to their senses, it's not impossible, but it doesn't work. If you look at their income, when you look at the median income, everyone is around 2 million won. For example, the median income is 2.4 million won in the late 20s and 2.71 million won in the early 30s. This is the median income. They say they are 200 tons.

They tell themselves, Oh, but they tell men to earn in the 50 million won range. However, the median income of young people in South Korea is 2 million won. If you look at people in their 20s, they don't save money, so won't the national rule be around 3,000? However, their standards don't come down at all. I hope that the young people in South Korea will change. In my opinion, at least two or three generations need to pass. It doesn't seem possible with just one generation. At the fastest, maybe 1.5 generations. Anyway, it seems like almost two to three generations will have to pass. The children being born now are like Kim Ji-young in 1982, right? That's why in the current situation in South Korea, many men think that living alone or not getting married is the answer. Also, take a look at this data. I'm trying to compare statistics between international marriage cases and domestic marriage cases, but it's the same.

The survey is not the same; there are slight differences. Even though there are differences, if you consider them a little, you will see that international and domestic standards are crucial in terms of economic aspects. You will be able to confirm that international marriage is advantageous. Now, I will look at the data from 2017. Therefore, I will look at the income of users through intermediary agencies in 2017. Here, if you look, those in the 2 million won range or less were 20.7%, 200 to 299 was the highest at 41.1%. Please consider that this was seven years ago. In the 300 million won range, it was 20.4%, and over 400 million won, it was 17.8%. Of course, currently, those over 400 million won are the highest. This is how things are changing. In the 2017 data on conflicts between international marriage intermediary agency users and their spouses, if you look here, apart from communication issues, there were not many conflicts. And when asked what the conflict was about at that time, it was either about conflicts or experiences with other things than communication with the spouse.

Did you have 13 items of conflict or not in 2020 and 2023, this survey was missed. But here, if you look at it, it includes a survey on whether you experienced conflicts such as living expenses and economic issues or not. Also, it includes issues related to sexual life between couples. Let's take a look at these two. First of all, this is based on male users. This survey excludes international couples. Regarding conflicts between couples' sexual life in 2017, 12.7% experienced conflicts, and 87.3% did not. It's a very low percentage. In South Korea, it's 40% for stress and 11.7% for economic issues. 88.3% experienced conflicts. I don't know why they didn't conduct the survey after that. Maybe the Ministry of Gender Equality and Family found it uncomfortable and didn't conduct it. It's a shame because it's really good data, but they didn't do it. The reason, in my opinion, is that they didn't do it.

It shows, and when you look at the content here, it is based on men. So, how do marriage immigrants view it in terms of gender issues? Men scored 12.72, while women only scored 4.8, showing a significant gap. I was shocked to see this. It seems like men are much more satisfied. Perhaps because they have more premarital chastity. Unlike in Korea, there are many young women here. Since they lack experience, could it be that they are more satisfied or less dissatisfied? This made me think. In 2013, the data here also shows only 4.5. In contrast, men seem to score higher. Additionally, in terms of living expenses and economic issues for Koreans.

Male users account for 11.7% and female marriage immigrants are left with only 4.5% in terms of economic issues. If it's 4.5%, it's almost nothing, right? It's within the margin of error. In the case of women, of course, women who go through marriage agencies, there are many from countries that are economically not as well off as Korea. So, I'm not sure if that's the reason, but in my opinion, it can be seen that there is definitely less economic dissatisfaction. Of course, there are countries that are better off than Korea. Even those countries have lower consumption habits than Koreans. According to the Deloitte data in front of me, Koreans spend more in proportion to their income. So, Korea is a country that excessively consumes in terms of fractions. And men lead this.

No, she is a woman. If we only talk about women, Korea is number one. Now, I will look at statistics related to domestic marriage. This was done by the government, it was done in 2020 for the actual family survey. Of course, the previous survey was done by the Ministry of Gender Equality and Family, but the survey methods were slightly different. It would have been better if the same survey was conducted, but still, some estimation is possible. If you look at the content, Have you experienced conflicts or differences of opinion with your spouse in the past year? If you have, please write down the reasons for the conflicts in order of the top two reasons from the following options. There are 11 items such as economic issues, caring for parents, household chores, and so on, like personality or values, and the spouse's lifestyle habits. So, the question is now, what did the reporters choose the most? Well, 24.15 chose the spouse's personality or way of thinking.

Values were most often mentioned as the primary factor, followed by economic issues at 21.6. For men, the top concern was economic problems at 23. When it comes to the spouse's personality, mindset, and values, it was rated at 26.2. Therefore, when looking at the total, the highest is personality at 23.2 and economic issues at 22.6. This is where many conflicts arise. As you may have seen earlier, in terms of international theories, economic issues were not as prominent. Some even believe that when it comes to international theories, foreign women coming to Korea accounted for less than 5%. However, in Korea, the economic aspect is a major cause of conflict and tension in daily life. This was the top priority, and looking at the second priority, in the case of the second priority, currently, the spouse's personality, mindset, and values are at the top of the list.

33.2 And the economic issue is 15.0, so both first and second priorities, this is about economic issues, values, and beliefs, which are very important. But what I pay attention to is what? Economic issues are more emphasized compared to international subjects. Why is it more emphasized? South Koreans have very high consumption habits. Comparing to the United States, it is also very high, but in reality, they are not actively working. Instead, they make men work actively and cut allowances for men. So, I think that in South Korea, marriage is becoming something that men tend to avoid. So, if we talk about probabilities, of course, if the survey was conducted in the same way as the previous statistics, it would have been more convincing. Even if we estimate, in terms of probability, the economic aspect is a very important issue, but in the international conclusion,

Relatively, it's not like it doesn't exist at all, but relatively, it seems that you can confirm the idea of differences. So, in terms of probability, if you get married domestically, there is a high chance of experiencing conflicts with your spouse because of money. Therefore, if you are worried about such things due to money, it is better to choose an international marriage. I think it could help you make your decision. Well, that's it for this video. Thank you.
