Comment on Self-Defense in Korea | Can You Defend Yourself When Being Attacked? by Seoul Law Group

In reply to Tanisha. Thank you for your comment. You are right that real situations are often more complicated than a general article can capture. In Korea, self-defense is assessed case by case, so anyone unsure of their position is encouraged to seek legal advice early.

In reply to Leslie Hoffmann Rodrigues. Thank you for reading our article and for sharing the comparison with Brazilian law. We agree that the differences become clearer in the later steps, from the declaration of presumed death through to inheritance.

Interesting to see the similarities with Brazilian law! Both systems provide for court intervention to manage the property of an absentee when there is no appointed administrator. The main differences arise in the subsequent steps toward presumed death and inheritance.

There are a few important things that is either not addressed or misleading in your article.
1. Finances: There are other exemptions to the income requirement, such as total assets and paying property taxes. It’s not just investor-type visas.
2. Criminal History: Why would an applicant require an apostilled criminal history report from the home country if the applicant had been residing continually in Korea? The applicant had already submitted the original criminal history report during the first visa application two or more years ago. I don’t believe another report is required as long as the applicant did not stay overseas for more than six consecutive months.
3. Korean Language: Many people are exempt from this requirement, such as those who previously held Korean citizenship, graduated from elementary school or higher in Korea, minors under 13, anyone aged 60 or older, or F-4 visa holders who have been in the country for 3 years.

I live in a country with opposite laws about self defense but I’m glad I know what to expect now when I go there but sometimes real life is way more complicated and it’s not everytime that you can get away from your attacker just by running and calling the police though so it really puts people in a pickle. I guess this is why somepeople don’t even report crimes cause you might end up going to jail instead lol.

Comment on Child Custody and Visitation Rights in Divorce in Korea by HG

HG — Wed, 01 Jul 2026 12:31:31 +0000

I have a question regarding Korean family law.
In a divorce judgment issued by the Seoul Family Court, the court stated that the mother is designated as the person entitled to exercise parental authority and custody over the child.
Does this mean that, under Korean law, the father has been deprived of parental rights, or does he still retain any parental rights despite the judgment?
In other words, does such a judgment grant the mother exclusive parental authority, or is a separate court decision required in Korea to terminate or remove the father’s parental rights?
Thank you in advance for your clarification.
