 South Korean society is smitten with the issue of ``interracial'' or ``mixed'' marriages ― typically rural Korean bachelors marrying (South East) Asian women. Statistics are always cited: percentages, divorce rates, projected percentages of future mixed-marriage offspring and so on.
Others speak of mixed-marriage repercussions on Korea's ``ethnic homogeneity'' with some assuming that such homogeneity has always been and others implying that it never has been. Amidst a rocketing divorce rate, others speak of ``saving'' these marriages, most commonly referring to communication differences, both cultural and linguistic.In fact, there's never a shortage of discussion on the various ways an interracial marriage can be undermined: miscommunication, or the inability to communicate at all, deceit on either side, pressure, and cultural dislocation.

After a rally early that morning, the students split into small discussion groups.

 Will they understand our table manners? Can they get used to our culture? Are they willing to learn our language?
The clash of cultures has a resounding impact on the lives of those involved in interracial dating. Yes, they are aware that they look like “weird” couples on the outside, but the couples themselves don’t see colour, religion or anything else that causes separation. This is what carries over when culturally diverse people interact with one another in their work environments and in their day-to-day lives.
