A recent United Nations report showed that South Koreans have the highest rate of eating dinner alone among G20 countries. The World Happiness Report 2025, released by the UN Sustainable Development Solutions Network, found that between 2022 and 2023, South Koreans ate dinner together only 1.6 days per week on average.  
Among 142 countries surveyed, South Korea ranked 135th. It had the lowest rate of meal-sharing among G20 nations, tied with Japan, where people shared meals 1.8 days per week. In contrast, countries like South Africa (5 days), Australia (4.9), Mexico and Canada (4.8), Argentina (4.7), and Brazil and Italy (4.6) had much higher rates of eating together.  
Older people in many countries were less likely to share meals. In East Asia, including South Korea and Japan, those under 30 shared meals 6.4 times per week, but this dropped to 4.6 times for those over 60. The rise of single-person households has also led to more young people eating alone. In the U.S., the number of people aged 18-24 eating alone increased by over 180 percent from 2003 to 2023.  
The report found that eating alone can increase feelings of loneliness. Only 18 percent of people who shared meals more than 12 times a week felt lonely, compared to 38 percent who always ate alone.
