Flag of South Korea from Wikipedia.
According to Wiktionary:
The most common Korean surname (particularly in South Korea) is Kim, followed by Lee (Rhee, Yi) (second most common) and Park (Pak) (third most common). Together, these top three surnames make up slightly more than half of the Korean population (based on South Korea).
That makes it easy to remember people's names.
South Korea has a rule that you do not marry within your group. So the first question a Korean asks a potential date is their name. No point in wasting time chatting up somebody who will refuse a romantic date and won't marry you.
If you date and marry somebody from another culture, that's one problem you won't have to worry about.
Many Koreans are Christians. My experience of Christians in Singapore and elsewhere in Asia is that they are very devout.
