Due to the K-fever in the Philippines, I’ve gotten messages from random Pinays asking me how I was able to get my man, how lucky I was to be showered with items from Korea, how lucky I was to now be living with him in Korea. These inquiries used to annoy me; I would quickly correct them and say that I purchase my own items with my own money.
Meanwhile, in Korea, there are rampant assumptions that Filipinas are prostitutes or poor girls who go after old Korean men for money—which may be true in some cases, but certainly not all.
My advice for women who wish to pursue a mixed-nationality relationship? First, know and love the person for who he is—not for his citizenship. Second, make an effort to get to know each other’s cultures—it should be a two-way street and not just you doing the learning and adjusting. Lastly, stay true to who you are. Never lose your identity just because you are with a foreigner or you don’t live in the country anymore. After all, who you were originally is who your foreign partner fell in love with.
