Love knows no border(3)

According to her, South Koreans like to go with the crowd. If most people think something or someone is good, they will think so as well, ranging from beliefs to cosmetics and trends.

"Kim's fans accept Tang because Kim likes her and they like Kim," she says.

Fan thinks most South Korean men are family-oriented, most men pay their salaries directly to the bank cards of their wives.

Zheng Kaiyue, 29, who married a South Korean, couldn't agree more.

"South Korean men think they should be the breadwinner and wives should take care of the money. Stay-at-home wives shoulder half the responsibility of family and work, so half of their salary is equal to be earned by their wives," says Zheng, a full-time wife who lives in the United States.

"I think South Korean men have a character of fortitude, perhaps because they have to serve in the army (mandatory) for two years. They have a strong sense of honor, with great cohesion and discipline. They have carried forward Confucianism very much, for example, to respect the elders."

Zheng says that many South Korean men are "chauvinistic", but the younger generations are more enlightened. Although most men "do not do housework after marriage", there are some exceptions. She says her husband sometimes helps her around the house.

"I'm very happy for Tang's marriage. Because of the news, the public will get to know more about South Korea and its people rather than the stereotypes," she says.

"For example, many South Korean that I met with have good impression of China. In South Korea, especially in Seoul, more and more students are learning Chinese."
