Cultural Context
In Korea, exchanging '커플링' (keopeulling) or couple rings is a very common and cherished tradition among romantic partners. Unlike engagement rings, couple rings are typically exchanged much earlier in a relationship, often to mark milestones like 100 days or one year together. They symbolize commitment and togetherness without necessarily implying marriage. This practice extends to other '커플템' (keopeultem), or couple items, such as matching outfits, phone cases, and shoes, which are popular ways for couples to publicly display their affection and bond.
