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, according to the Korea Times and Yonhap. KBS World reports 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 new marriages. The data comes from the National Data Office's 2025 Multicultural Family Population Development Report, released on November 5, as Yonhap notes.
