Event for love and charity

Daegu residents are to get the chance to give to needy kids while looking for love thanks to a special speed dating event ahead of Valentine’s Day.

Participants in the “Time to Date” charity event on Feb. 11 at the city’s MF bar will be given three minutes to impress potential partners before moving on to the next person at the bar.

At the end of the evening, the pair voted most eligible bachelor and bachelorette will be awarded a romantic meal for two. A special prize will also be awarded to the person with the best chat-up line.

Tickets cost 10,000 won and include a free drink, with all proceeds going to help disadvantaged children in the area.

Guests are invited to attend from 6:30 p.m. for a 7 p.m. start.
