South Korean writer Eun Seo-ran, who declined to reveal her full face, speaking during an interview with AFP at a public library in Jeonju. — AFP picSEOUL, Oct 8 — South Korean writer Eun Seo-ran was happily single, until a medical emergency made her want family around to help. But she took an unconventional route: legally adopting her best friend.
She wanted Lee to be allowed into the hospital as family, and in the worst-case scenario, to be able to organise her funeral without enduring lengthy administrative procedures. “South Korea’s narrow legal definition of family is partially responsible,” Hyeyoung Woo, a sociology professor who researches families in South Korea at Portland State University, told AFP.
“The surge in single-person households means that the number of people living outside marriage and blood ties is increasing,” Yong told AFP. If enacted, the legislation “will dismantle family system and cause significant harm to children,” the Korean Association of Church Communication said in a statement.
