12 Years Younger Miss Korea Contestant's Date Brings Discontent to Divorced Man

A man who recently went on a blind date with a younger woman from Miss Korea has garnered attention.

A post shared on a workplace anonymous community called 'Blind' detailed the grievances of Mr. A, a law firm representative, regarding his experiences while dating a woman who was 12 years younger and finished third in the Miss Korea pageant.

According to the post, Mr. A is a divorced man who separated from his wife due to her infidelity and recently met a young woman from Miss Korea through a blind date.

The writer explained, "The woman is not only beautiful but also has a great personality, and my brother really liked her."

However, the only complaint that Mr. A had was that during their six dates, the woman never even pretended to reach for her wallet, which was a significant point of contention.

The writer shared, "From his perspective, he's not someone who is tight on money and doesn't care how much he spends on the date; he wouldn’t mind paying for everything, but he thought, 'Isn't it normal for someone to at least offer to pay for coffee?'"

When Mr. A expressed his intention to ask the woman directly about this issue, the writer advised against it.

Netizens' Reactions and Generational Differences in Dating Costs

The response from netizens regarding this post was largely critical of Mr. A.

Comments ranged from "A man in his 40s bringing up dating costs with someone 12 years younger who is a Miss Korea finalist? He lacks reality," to "If I were dating someone 12 years younger, I’d pay for everything myself. When I was in college, would I ask a kid in elementary school if they wanted a meal?" showcasing diverse opinions.

Many netizens pointed out that given the age difference and the context, Mr. A's dissatisfaction was inappropriate. Comments like "The person who needs money should pay," "He should consider himself lucky," and "Not buying a coffee shows a lack of interest" followed.

The writer assessed Mr. A by saying, "He was handsome and tall in his 20s, so he probably had women chasing after him, but it seems he lacks a sense of reality due to just focusing on studying." In response, some netizens questioned, "Isn't he talking about himself instead of his brother?"
