Is it common to meet the parents before going on a blind date?

Question

Hello! I am soon going to have a blind date, but there is a slightly unusual situation, so I would like to ask for advice. My mentor and the other person's parents arranged the blind date, and the other person lives overseas and is planning to return to Korea next month. However, before that person arrives, their parents invited me to lunch first. Is it common to meet the parents first without the other person, or is it a bit of a strange situation?

I am curious about how common it is in Korea to meet the parents before a blind date or marriage. If anyone has had a similar experience or can give advice on this situation, I would appreciate your input!
