GMK JAPAN Expands Its Presence in Shinjuku
Background of Office Relocation
The phenomenon of international marriages between
Korean men and
Japanese women is gaining remarkable momentum. According to the
2024 Marriage and Divorce Statistics released in March by the Korean Statistics Office, the number of marriages between Korean men and Japanese women has surged to
1,176, marking a
40% increase from the previous year.
The popularity of
K-POP and
K-drama has sparked a growing fascination among Japanese women for Japanese-Korean couples, leading to an overwhelming surge of inquiries directed at GMK JAPAN.
In response to this trend, the agency announced the opening of a new office in
Okubo in 2024 and has now relocated to a larger space in
Shinjuku. This new office aims to foster an inviting environment where members can easily drop by and participate in various event plans.
Features of GMK JAPAN
GMK JAPAN has successfully registered over
13,000 single Korean men (including partner companies) looking for relationships. Many of these men hold stable jobs and earn above-average incomes.
1. Personalized Support from Dedicated Staff
Unlike typical self-search methods, GMK JAPAN employs a
one-on-one matching approach where specialized staff supports both parties throughout the matchmaking process. The Korean headquarters helps with inquiries from Korean men, while the Japanese office caters to Japanese women, effectively minimizing wasted time and costs associated with unnecessary meetings.
2. Interpreter Presence During Meetings
To combat language and cultural barriers, GMK JAPAN ensures that professional interpreters accompany members during matchmaking meetings. This support not only facilitates conversation but also helps both parties feel more comfortable, creating a pleasant atmosphere.
3. Free Korean Language Courses for Prospective Partners
Women dating with marriage in mind have the option to attend
free Korean language courses. These lessons focus on practical conversation and reading/writing skills, crucial for effective communication in the future.
4. Assistance with Complicated Marriage Procedures
GMK JAPAN offers comprehensive support in dealing with complex documentation required by the Korean government, ensuring a smooth transition into married life. This extensive support system is a primary reason why GMK JAPAN continues to attract numerous members, though visa costs and document fees are the responsibility of the individuals concerned.
5. Identity Verification Through Official Certificates
All male members are required to have their identities confirmed through official documentation, guaranteeing their authenticity. Thus, the agency boasts a
0% rate of post-matching troubles.
6. Transparent Pricing Structure
The matchmaking process is entirely free for members. Those residing in rural areas receive financial assistance for travel and accommodation costs when coming to Tokyo. The membership and activity fee structure ensures affordability, making it easy for newcomers to start their matchmaking journey without hesitation.
Future Prospects
Traditionally, avenues for meeting Korean men have included shops, friends' introductions, and dating apps, often leaving women uncertain about the men's backgrounds. In this context, international marriage agencies that guarantee the authenticity of prospective partners are drawing significant interest.
Looking ahead, GMK JAPAN hopes to facilitate numerous Japanese-Korean couples and marriages. The agency is committed to providing high-quality connections, ensuring that members leave feeling satisfied with their experiences.
