A district office in Busan is reported to be offering one million won or around Rp11.8 million to residents who start a romantic relationship through a matchmaking event that is being organized. According to the Saha District Office in Busan, a supplementary budget plan for a mass blind date event for single Korean and foreign men and women has recently been approved by the district council.

If a man and woman decide to start a romantic relationship after the event, the district government will give 1 million won to the couple. Not only that, if they hold a "sang-gyeon-rye" or a meeting of family members usually done before marriage, the couple will be offered an additional 2 million won or around Rp23.6 million.

If they get married, another big bonus of 20 million won or around Rp236.19 million will be given. In addition, the district office said that they will provide additional support for their housing for up to five years.

"For specific rules and the scale of the blind date event have not been announced yet. The applicants will be reviewed based on their applications and interviews to be selected as participants. If this year's event successfully attracts attention and yields positive results, the district office mentioned that it will be made an annual event with more non-Korean participants."
