Since the 1970s in Korea, it has been common for young men and women to hold group “meeting” for finding a love match. Although the original meetings were small in size, young people soon began to collect in much larger groups of 20 or more. One problem with these larger meetings is that it’s much more difficult to keep the number of men and women equal. In order to ensure that everyone has a partner, the group meeting relies on a daeta. This is a person that can be called at the last minute if someone backs out or forgets to show up. The Korea meeting is quite different from the traditional dating system known as seon. In this ancient practice, the eldest members of the family arranged matches for their young relatives. Before the 1970s, most marriages were formed in this way and young people trusted their families to make good matches for them. However, in a meeting young people had to trust their own instincts. Young people who didn’t want to put their trust in family members, but who also didn’t trust their own judgment, began to ask their friends to help them find a suitable match. This type of dating, known as sogaeting, became popular in the 1990s. Matchmaking services that demand large fees have also become popular in recent years. 46. What is this passage mainly about? A.
