Valentine Event Epilogue




February has Valentine's Day, so even just looking at the calendar, hearts are coming out of my eyes. Marriage information company Duo USA held a Valentine's Day event in February right after finishing the Christmas event in December last year. It was prepared in a short period of time; it is said that it ended successfully. The Valentine's Day event is said to have prepared a five-minute conversation with all 32 people, with only tea time to eliminate unnecessary meal time and focus on each other. From 2:30 p.m. on a sunny Saturday, one by one came in dressed in semi-casual, greeted each other and blossomed into a serious speed meeting, throwing questions at each other and starting to blossom in conversation. Those who attended the Valentine event were 1.5 and 2nd generations. Most applied this event themselves, but there were also who came because their parents applied. They say finding soulmates is more difficult than getting a Ph.D. degree. Many people said they were surprised how old they were when they thought of their age. People have thanked the Duo USA for giving them a chance to meet people. Especially during the middle of the event, a special guest Mr. Paik, who has a child already married through a Duo service, drove from far away and said, "More important than building a career is marriage." His children were born and raised in the U.S. So, at first, they were strongly opposed to meeting through the Duo service, but through the persuasion of their parents, they met a good spouse through a Duo service and having a good marriage now. Mr. Paik said seeing his children with good marriage, he decided to share his story and thanked to Duo. During his speech, he said โ€œFor more than 20 years, the Duo USA helped Korean-Americans get married. There will be no regrets if you open the opportunity to meet Korean-Americans through the Duo USAโ€. He spoke in both English and Korean. Also, rumors about Valentine's Speed Meeting Events have spread to New York, we are getting calls from parents and themselves about why there are no such meetings in New York.

"We will continue to prepare for these events in the future, and I hope that Korean people can meet the same Korean and spread the American society with good genes," said Jennifer, General Manager of USA. "It is homework for parents to take good care of their children's chances to meet their spouses."
