In Western cultures: saying ‘I love you’ to someone immediately after meeting them is like swearing at a children’s birthday party.

It’ll probably get you this look…

In contrast: the Korean locals are romantics. It’s not unheard of for someone to drop the ‘L-Bomb’ after just 2 of 3 dates. Yes… really! Fascinating cultural differences like this are worth bearing in mind when learning Korean.

The art of saying I love you in Korean

Perhaps it’s the romantic K-Dramas on TV, the sensual food, or beautiful beaches and mountains. Maybe it’s the locals’ love of a blind date (소개팅). Whatever the reason: Korea has caught the love bug. Forget the ‘three days rule’: you are expected to text someone right after your date if you like them!

Fun fact. Did you know Korean couples often get each other couple rings 커플링 after 100 days together!? Cute right?

Make sure to not to confuse these with buying a wedding ring 결혼반지 to avoid a longer commitment than you signed up for. If you want to know what you're paying for in a gift shop, here's the word list for gifts in Korean. The art of saying I love you is more about how you say it, not when. Because in Korean culture, the language you use for many words and phrases depends on your relationship with the person you’re speaking to: their age, social status and how well you know them.

Context is everything in Korean language. See this two variations:

Female to older male = 오빠 사랑해요 (oppa saranghaeyo)

Male to older female = 누나 사랑해요 (una saranghaeyo)

사랑합니다 (sarang-hamnida) = I love you (formal)

The most formal I love you. Use this with someone older who has more social status. Perhaps your grandparents. You may hear it used during a speech or announcement. Sensing a pattern here? From 사랑해 (saranghae) – we’ve added 요 to make it polite and 니다 to make it formal.

나도 사랑해 (nado saranghae) = I love you too!
