🧧 Culture Tip

• In Korean proposals, especially among younger couples, it's common to propose in a more 감성적인 (emotional, sentimental) way than flashy.

• Some couples even skip the official proposal and decide together over time, but a cute surprise moment like this still melts hearts 💗

• The word 평생 (pyeong-saeng) means “for a lifetime,” which carries strong emotional weight and is often used in romantic vows.
