Singles in South Korea are turning to Buddhist temples for a different approach to finding romance. A weekend retreat at Donghwasa temple, located in the southern part of the country, recently hosted 12 individuals seeking to find a partner in an unconventional setting.
The initiative, which involves matchmaker monks, aims to provide a spiritual and serene environment for participants to connect. This trend offers an alternative to typical dating scenarios like coffee dates or drinks, focusing instead on shared experiences within the temple grounds.
