I fall for this every time. He hates cooking (though he doesn’t mind cleaning) and will do whatever it takes to make me cook instead of him. This is not a representation of Korean men in general. I actually know many Korean guys who love cooking and are really passionate about food. My husband is passionate about food, but only eating it, not cooking it.

I realise after that he set me up with the “Oh I’m a sad little boy just eating one tin of tuna” act because he’ll do his “happy I love you hugging dance” after I agree to cook something.
