The Chosun has an article about the sexual attitudes of Koreans in college. If find it a little surprising that only a quarter of students have had sex while in college among some other interesting findings:

Only 354 of the 1,276 — 27.7 percent — said they were sexually experienced. About half of them — 46.3 percent or 164 respondents — had their first sexual experience when they were 20-21, but a third of the group had their first sexual experiences in middle or high school.

Of the 175 that said they are having sex, 30 said they thought of their bedfellow as “just a sexual partner.”

Overall, students appeared fairly liberated in their attitudes, with a robust 61.1 percent (780 respondents) saying they were against the idea of chastity before marriage at least in theory, while 40.9 (522 respondents) said it was possible for men and women to live together without getting married. An overwhelming 85.3 percent (1,088 respondents) said they did not think it necessary for two people to get married if they have slept together.

Asked if prostitution helps prevent sex crimes such as rape, most men or 51 percent said yes, but most women or 65.5 percent said no.
