Dating a Korean

I did a quick google on "dating a Korean". It is interesting to note there are many sites providing advices. Some of which are listed below:

1) Dating a Korean Guy (The Things We Should Expect)
11) Many more... 

A quick compilation of some generalized traits:
1) Possessive
2) Self-driven (money, career)
3) Particular about appearance and style
4) Expectations on gals (appearance, smartness, ability to cook)
5) Dramatic (hot tempered, expressive when talking)
6) Health conscious

Yet, each and every person has their own uniqueness, depending on their upbringing, exposure to overseas, person's strive, interests and priorities. 

My unique Sungsoo have some special non-Korean characteristics. 

1) Sungsoo can't take kimchi spice well. In fact, he loves Western food more (e.g. Pizzas), while I love korean food more and I eat more spice.

2) Sungsoo doesn't smoke. His family doesn't. Korean male smoking is among the highest in the OECD at 47.3%. Thank goodness, my Sungsoo doesn't. Well, I dislike the smell of smoke and the action of people smoking.

3) Sungsoo is very obsessed with doing work-out, building muscles and keeping fit. He was once 8% body fat. He started his work-out training when he was in America. He thinks guys in Korean shows (꽃미남) are too girly. *LOL* 

4) Sungsoo often gets mistaken for his nationality. The Singapore hawker aunty spoke to him in Mandarin and asked if he is from Hongkong. When we were traveling around, people thought he is a Japanese. 

5) Sungsoo loves a Singaporean (that's me). And his parents love me (a non-Korean). 

So how is it like dating Uniquely Sungsoo? We have done crazy things like dancing tango on the Singapore MRT platform. Once, we danced to the music in ThatCDShop in Raffles City Shopping Centre and the music was abruptly stopped to "get us out". Life has been interesting every since I met Sungsoo. Hope we continue to live what we love, and to have an enjoyable and fruitful life together. :)
