Born and raised in South Korea, some children of transnational families have lived their entire lives believing they were Korean. But years after their parents sought official advice about dual citizenship, some are discovering they may have lost their Korean nationality. On the CNA Correspondent podcast, Senior Correspondent Lim Yun Suk talks about meeting families caught in anguish and uncertainty. How did this happen in a society where multicultural marriages are on the rise? And can South Korea’s nationality laws keep pace?
Highlights:
00:00 Intro
00:50 How following official advice left families exposed
04:17 Born Korean but no longer Korean?
07:18 A former soldier fears losing everything
08:53 A mother's anguish over her son's future
13:20 how does a baby voluntarily give up being Korean?
16:00 Is South Korea's nationality law outdated?

Most important thing is duty of military service in South Korea. That’s the criteria. Very very strict. The Rich in south korea has been give up their son’s nationality avoiding military service long time ago. But reason is changing recently. President Lee and DP are heading far-left. Korean dislike and hate it. So They decide immigration to US. It’s uncomfortable reality.

Don't trust government officials. They are only human. Double check with AI.

I am a HONG KONG-er. My daughter was born a Singaporean to my Singapore 🇸🇬 wife, and when she was 18 years old. She had HK🇭🇰 Passport from birth till she turned 18, and our daughter was asked to decide whether she wanted to be a HONG KONG-er or a Singaporean. She couldn’t decide, and so my wife applied a SINGAPORE 🇸🇬 passport for her.

A Russian does not trust a government and is right. This is a story that is centuries old and keeps repeating!
