Being a single or under-resourced mother has always been hard in South Korea. Look no further than the fact that widespread transnational adoption started with Korean children in orphanages, many of whom had living mothers who could not keep a place in society or lacked the means to raise them on their own. The crisis worsened after the Korean War ended, leaving many women single but with children; since then, there's been enduring societal sigmas surrounding premarital sex and singledom in general for women. For all of its modernity, Korea remains a patriarchal, conservative society with limited options for single or unwed mothers or their children.
