If you are in Seoul and are interested in this event then go to the Yeoido Park and join in.
The largest ever organized hunt for a date will involve around 35,000 participants who have signed up so far as of Wednesday according to Korea Times. The event is organized
by an agency “Nimyeonsy,” which means “is in a relationship” in
Korean, is supported by around 200 companies and 200 individual
volunteers.
Participants
in Seoul are to gather at 3 p.m. in Yeouido Park, and gatherings will
also take place in Busan, Incheon, Daejeon, Daegu and Gwangju. Men must wear white and women red clothes.
Participants are free to grab the hands of any person they wish to date,
in the hope of living their futures together happily ever after.
The mass event started from a single status posted on Facebook by a college graduate in early November.
“People
spend a lot of time online, instead of going out and meeting others, so
we initially just proposed on Facebook that singles should meet up for
Christmas,” said Jang -who initiated this group on Facebook.
However, concerns about
safety have been raised about the large numbers of people gathering in
confined areas.
Nimyeonsy
is recruiting volunteers to be posted at the designated spots to be on
stand-by in case accidents occur. Around 200 people have been recruited
so far.
By the way, there is this club 5678 that is a popular site for such meetups however, be very careful.
