Ask what Korea is talking about.

The number of multicultural marriages in South Korea edged down in 2025, taking up 8.9 percent of all marriages, data showed Thursday. The country recorded 21,399 multicultural marriages last year, down 0.2 percent from a year earlier, Yonhap reports. KBS World adds that nine out of every 100 couples that got married last year were in multicultural marriages, while both multicultural marriages and births to multicultural families declined due to a decrease in the number of naturalized citizens. The Hankyoreh notes that one in three multicultural couples have husbands 10 or more years older than their wives.
