In 2022, the average height of South Korean men in their thirties lay at 174.71 centimeters. Men in older age groups tended to be shorter. On average, South Korean men were 171.49 centimeters tall that year.
According to a 2019 survey, for most respondents the preferred height for South Korean men was higher than the current average. This discrepancy was similar for the preferred height for women, showing how preferences for taller people stretched across genders. Not only are South Koreans preferring taller partners, but they are also getting taller over time. Another survey found that the ideal height for a spouse in the country came closer to the average height of younger generations.
