Sometimes, luck is all you need to find a spouse. Other times, it’s your mom with a microphone, carping to a room full of strangers that your state of utter singlehood is causing her insomnia.

“My son is so old,” Jungja Hong sighed at a recent Parents Club of the Unmarried Children meeting. “I’m hoping that this will be the year he meets a lady.”

Hong, of Clifton, N.J., is one of the new members of the Parents Club of the Unmarried Children, an organization of more than 500 Korean Americans determined to launch their children down the aisle. The group meets regularly in North Jersey or New York, where members discuss their single children and set them up with each other.

“When parents are over 50, their No. 1 concern is their children’s marriage,” said club founder David Choi.

At a typical Parents Club meeting, moms and dads register at the door and wear a red or blue tag (red for daughters, blue for sons) that identifies name and birth year of their children. Inside the banquet room, they eat, mingle and commiserate with other parents about their unmarried children. They also check out the lists taped to the wall — an inventory of all club members’ children by birth year, education and occupation.

After dinner, the formal program begins. One by one, parents go up to the microphone to talk about their children. During the bragging/pleading session, which is spoken in Korean, they share their children’s vital statistics and also their own frustrations.

“My daughter works in an office where there isn’t a single Asian,” said one father.

“I wake up in the middle of the night in a panic, thinking about my single daughter,” one mother said as the crowd nodded sympathetically.

“My son is so old he’s an antique,” another mother said, as the crowd roared in laughter. “Please take this antique off my hands!”

Matchmaking in Korean communities is — as it is in many other cultures — an old practice that has waned in recent years. But as more young people postpone marriage to pursue careers and higher education, this throwback method of courtship may be regaining momentum.

Through an organization like Parents Club, moms and dads help to ensure that their children meet potential mates who have particular qualifications: educated, employed and Korean. At a recent meeting in the Flushing section of Queens, many parents said they were “ashamed” and “exasperated” that their children were still unmarried.

Most members’ children are in their 30s — an age when, by traditional Korean standards, they should have started a family.

“At first, I was so embarrassed,” said Soon Ja Lee, whose dentist daughter is 34. “Everyone else is married, and my daughter can’t do it. I joined this club, and it’s so great. It’s such a good place.”

Choi, of Harrington Park, started Parents Club last year when he wanted to find a suitor for his unmarried niece. She had spent many years pursuing higher education and a career in law and one day found herself thirty-something with no potential husbands in her ambit. Her mother became very concerned, Choi said.
