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

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.

In May 2025, I travelled from Australia to South Korea and paid approximately KRW 9,000,000 for upper eyelid surgery at JT Plastic Surgery performed by Dr. Kim Jin-Tae. The surgery resulted in persistent eyelid asymmetry, residual ptosis, and an unsatisfactory cosmetic outcome. I have repeatedly contacted the clinic seeking review and resolution, but my communications have been ignored and contact has been blocked. I am seeking compensation for the surgery costs, travel expenses, accommodation, and corrective revision surgery.

Comment on F5 Visa in South Korea | Getting A Permanent Visa in Korea by Abdul Karim

Abdul Karim — Thu, 28 May 2026 03:37:50 +0000

Hello, my name is Abdul Karim. I am currently in Korea on an E-3 researcher visa, and my ARC is valid until February 28, 2027. I came to Korea in November 2022 and have continuously stayed on E-3 status. I have a foreign PhD in Computer Science/AI and currently work full-time as a researcher/research professor at Hallym University. My current annual salary is about 47 million KRW.

I would like to check whether I may be eligible for F-5 permanent residency, especially under F-5-9 overseas PhD/high-tech field or F-5-11 special talent route.

Could you please advise:

1. Which F-5 category is most suitable for my case?
2. Is KIIP/TOPIK required or exempt for this route?
3. Is my current salary enough, or do I need income above GNI?
4. Do I need a criminal background certificate from my home country?
5. What documents are needed from my professor/Hallym University?
6. What is your consultation fee and full service fee if I proceed?

Thank you.
