Korean Wedding Gift Money Advisor
Recommend Korean wedding gift money amounts based on relationship, closeness, venue type, and attendance.
About this tool
Korean Wedding Gift Amount Recommender suggests an appropriate cash gift (chukuigeum) based on relationship (8 types), closeness (1~5), venue (general / hotel / outdoor), attendance (self / +spouse / cash-only), and region (capital / metro / rural). Adjustments are transparent: hotel +30k, spouse +50k, cash-only -30k. Add a previous received amount and the tool applies reciprocity with a 5~10% inflation buffer. Direct family is always full-amount regardless of attendance. KakaoTalk message text is auto-generated.

Coworker (closeness 3), general venue, solo: recommends 100k with a 70~130k range.
Scenario 2
Hotel, close friend
Hotel (+30k) + close friend + spouse: 180k recommended, covering 150~200k/person hotel meal.
Scenario 3
Cash-only (no attendance)
Cash-only auto-deducts 30k β 70k for a close-friend baseline.

Reciprocity from received
If you previously received 100k, +5% inflation lifts the floor to 110k.
