Why can't Koreans marry foreigners?

It's not that Koreans can't marry foreigners, but that marrying foreigners requires special approval from the leaders.

Koreans are unwilling to marry foreigners, which is related to the degree of openness and is deeply rooted in the system of comprehensively strengthening "subjectivity" and "nationality" in North Korea.

Koreans have a strong national complex of respecting purity in their ideology, and subconsciously feel that marrying foreigners is an improper move to "defile" their national origin. Ask North Koreans if the government has an express rule that marriage with foreigners is not allowed. Their answer is: "It's not not allowed, it just needs special approval from the leaders."

Korean weddings are conducted according to the procedures of "wedding ceremony", "accepting gifts", "accepting coins" and "welcoming relatives". The wedding ceremony is that parents negotiate their children's marriage through the matchmaker, and the bride price is given by the groom's family to show their gratitude to the woman's family for their engagement. Wedding ceremony is the wedding ceremony, which is the most important and grand ceremony in the whole wedding.

The traditional wedding reception of Koreans is held at the bride's house. Accompanied by relatives, the groom goes to the bride's house to present gifts to her parents-in-law, and the couple drinks a toast and exchanges marriage certificates. The couple stayed at the bride's house for two nights, and on the third day the bride came to the groom's house in a sedan chair. The groom's house also holds a banquet.

In Pyongyang, the wedding room is allocated by the state, so you don't have to worry about it yourself. Parents prepare everything for the couple to settle down, such as furniture and bedding. Wedding banquets are usually held at noon and evening, which are hosted by the female and the male respectively.

The bride and groom should buy clothes for each other before marriage. At the wedding, the bride must wear the traditional national costume chiguli skirt, and the groom usually wears a suit. On the same day, the couple first went to Wanshoutai Square to present flowers to the bronze statue of the late leader, and then attended the wedding reception. At the beginning of the banquet, the couple exchanged rings, and lively and cheerful songs and dances ran through. Here, there is also the custom of paying "money", which is generally about one or two hundred yuan.
