“I like men speaking good English. It makes them look sexy, intelligent and very competent,” said Yang Mi-kyoung, a 24-year-old who works for a fashion goods company. “They also look very confident and I feel I could proudly introduce him to anyone,” she added.

Most replied that fluent foreign language speaking skills made their date eligible and competent, while some said the quality is important because they themselves do not have it. Both men and women thought being able to speak other languages is a basic attainment for everyone. Some said they want their counterpart to teach their future children English.
