Matchmaking Firm Under Fire After $6,400 Match Shows ‘Wedding D+108’ on KakaoTalk

In Seoul, a matchmaking company headed by a well-known dating reality show participant reportedly introduced a woman who paid 8.8 million won to a man suspected of being married. According to the report, the woman raised concerns after checking the matched man’s KakaoTalk profile and seeing the phrase “Wedding D+108.” The case puts renewed focus on whether high-priced matchmaking services properly verify a match’s marital status, a core factor in consumer trust. It is expected to draw attention to screening procedures and consumer protection at marriage agencies. Source: yna.co.kr
