KOREA TIMES - Feb 25 - Korean matchmaking firm Sunwoo conducted a
research study to examine married couples' age difference and their
income. Based on the data, the larger the age gap between the spouses,
the larger the husband's income compared to the wife's. For couples that had an age gap of five years or less, the two spouses
had an average of $10,000 difference in their income. Couples with an
age gap between six and seven years have an income difference of
$30,000 to $40,000. Young wives tend to be more dependent on their
husbands in various ways and require more attention and care. Also,
while the husband is aging, the wife likely is only now maturing and
this may cause some emotional as well as sexual disparities. The
husband and wife are at different life stages and consequently are
likely to have different priorities. These marriages require more
compromise and adjustment. FULL ARTICLE @ KOREA TIMES

Matchmaking Service For Foreigners Living In Korea
KOREA TIMES -- Mar 23 -- Sunoo, the country's 2nd largest matchmaking
firm, kicked off a matchmaking site for foreigners. Members of couple.net ($20 fee) can access Sunoo's client database of
15,000 men and women. No.1 market player Duo labels the business as "too
risky.'' "Matchmaking agencies need to take responsibility in verifying
subscribers' identification and background,'' said Kim Sun-ah, a Duo
spokeswoman. Sunoo agency, however, requires applicants to
accept a personal information verification agreement, which holds
members legally responsible for the information they provided. If the
information is proven to be false, she said violators may have to pay
more than 100m won ($7000) in compensation. FULL ARTICLE @ KOREA TIMES
