Don't feel sad, I only made like 2 or 3 semi friends in med school and I pretty lost most contact with the few I sort of made. It was depressing to never have 1 penny to even buy a sandwich whereas almost everyone else had an endless free line of credit from mommy or daddy and could afford to pay 300 dollars a week to get drunk at a trendy night club. Some of the people I got along better with were of the few oddballs that actually had real part-time jobs they did in their free time and I could relate to them better because they didn't grow up in a 90210 type lifestyle of endless commodity.
Once I started my internship year things got a lot better because I was exposed to med students from public schools who weren't preppy, most of them still only found the concept of going to bars to be fun but were more open to hang around doing other less expensive things. Now that I make some bank I still don't go out often because most people still prefer bar hopping as the only source of life entertainment. I do go to bars with my SO every now and then, but otherwise I prefer to spend my free time doing tourism.
Maybe you should organize a guys night at your place with Xbox and Halo or something. I'm pretty sure you will have a lot of male buddies that would be interested.
Koreans don't play halo, they play starcraft.
And medicine is a field where you have to interact with people, try to make friends
