Are the men from the Republic of Korea the new dream of Mexican women? This is the question we pose as the focus of this research. In order to respond to it, we investigate the elements that lead Mexican women, through in-depth interviews, to configure a particular imaginary of Korean men. We postulate that cultural and entertainment products from Korea have actively influenced the configuration of specific masculinities that foster the interest of Mexican women, mainly young people, on Korean men. We explore the possibility that Mexican women feel motivated, through these created imaginaries, to emigrate to the Asian country and establish formal family ties with Korean men.
