Most of KoreanCupid’s members come from Korea or the United States, some of them even having Korean genetic roots, but US residence.

Most of the women (40% of the website’s users) are aged between 25 and 44, while men, composing 60% of the platform’s population, are aged between 25 and 54 years old.

By the details that can be seen in the profiles of different users, it seems like most of them are using KoreanCupid to find either a romantic relationship or a sweet friendship. Members tend to make an effort when it comes to adding information and appropriate pictures to their profiles, as they want to keep their accounts up and running. The odds of bumping into fake profiles seem to be low because admins check all new accounts and tend to delete them if they look suspicious.

Signing Up the Service

• You can register in a jiffy
• You can sign up using an email address or your Facebook account
• Using Facebook can make the photo situation easier
• You don’t need to add a profile picture right away
• You don’t need to verify your account with your email

Getting an account on KoreanCupid is extremely easy. You start by giving them your first name, gender, age, email address and finish about two minutes later by setting up a password. You don’t need to choose a profile photo at this point if you haven’t decided on one that you’d like to be the face you show to the world. Also, you don’t have to verify your email. On the other hand, it seems that verifying an account by uploading a copy of your ID for the eyes of the admins would save you from getting your account suspended.

Another option that you have is to register using your Facebook profile, the link to it being just enough to consider your account unsuspicious and verified so that no ID proof is further needed. Note, that if you do not want to get kicked out, you should not to be too naughty or break any of their policies. Using Facebook also makes filling up your account with photos easier, as you can just add your favorite ones directly from there and not look for them on your computer.
