It's used quite often in K-Land and I believe it came from an earlier derivation: "old miss". Gold miss refers to single women usually in their 30s and 40s (i.e. "old miss") with good education, successful careers and stable financial status, and who take pride in themselves for achieving independent success. There's a popular Korean variety show called "Gold Miss is on her way" which pits 6 "gold miss" celebrities against each other where they compete for a chance to go on blind dates. This is almost a marketing term in order to try and take away the negative image away from old single ladies in Korea.
"My manager is such a gold miss, she's turning 40 this year, she's single and she's loving it."
"Set me up on a so-gae-ting! I don't want to end up a gold miss..."
"Damn, she's hot! But I wouldn't know how to approach a gold miss."
One of my cousins went on that show last June and went on 3 dates with one of the Gold Misses. Hilarious! Too bad she was an unattractive comedian.. if it was one of the other ladies, I wouldn't have ridiculed him as much.
