Dream - Several countries are experiencing a birth rate emergency, one of which is South Korea. Therefore, both the central and regional governments in the Land of Ginseng are trying to implement various policies to encourage couples to marry and have children in order to increase the birth rate. Just like what the authorities in Busan District are doing, they will provide incentives to their residents who want to date.
"Offering Rp11.8 Million for Dating Citizens"
According to The Korean Times, the local government offers 1 million won or around Rp11.8 million just to start a romantic relationship through its matchmaking event.
According to the Saha District Office in Busan, the additional budget proposal for a mass blind date event for "single Korean and foreign men and women" has been approved by the district council recently. Not only native Koreans, but also foreign citizens are allowed to participate in the event. The event is scheduled for October 2024 and is aimed at young people, aged 23 to 43, who live or work in the district.
If a man and woman decide to start a romantic relationship after the event, they will receive 1 million won. Furthermore, if they hold a "sang-gyeon-rye," or a meeting with family members usually arranged before marriage, the couple will be offered an additional 2 million won or around Rp23.6 million.
If the couple continues their relationship to the marriage level, they will receive another big bonus of 20 million won or around Rp236 million. Not only that, the local district office said it will provide additional support for their housing for up to five years.
"Participants are being selected"
"However, specific rules and the scale of the event have not been announced. Applicants will be selected based on their applications and interviews to be chosen as participants."
"If this year's event successfully attracts attention and produces positive results, the office said they will make it an annual event with more non-Korean participants."
