Remarriage Industry grows http://english.chosun.com/w21data/html/news/200603/200603200024.html
Korea’s rapidly growing divorce rate is eroding any stigma attached to tying the knot for a second or third time, and an entire industry is making a living on the proceeds. There are even dedicated wedding halls for those getting married again. One of them is Petit Wedding, in southern Seoul. When it opened in 2004, many doubted it would succeed; now there are plans for another two branches. One reason is that those who tie the knot again tend to be financially more independent than young couples Matchmaking firm Duo last year established a team dedicated to remarriages only. Some 25 percent or 4,958 of the company’s 20,095 clients are paying to meet their soul mate after their first marriage ended. Hotels also benefit from the special demand. The wedding planners say their customers become more discerning as second weddings typically on a smaller but choicer scale than the first. “I thought I have to get it right this time,” says Tak, who got married again on March 1. “I hired a wedding planner to take care of my ceremony and gave a luxurious party without inviting too many people.” “It’s only natural that an increase in divorce leads to the growth of related industries,” says Chung Young-suk, a professor at Daegu University. “The majority of women who get married for the second time, especially, are professionals and economically independent, and that’s why the market is growing so sharply.”
