Only one in 10 Korean women still believe the man should always pick up the bill on dates, according to a poll.

The survey of 2,000 men and women in Korea and Japan by the Korea Women's Development Institute in July last year found that 19.2 percent of Japanese women still think men should bring home the bacon while women tend to the household, but only 7.4 percent of Korean women feel that way.

Asked whether men should be able to take paternity leave, 90.2 percent of Korean women agreed, compared to only 53.6 percent of their more traditional Japanese sisters.
