They can't legally marry there, the only way to be legal guardian is for him to add them both into his family register
Same sex marriage isn't legal in Korea. So, he adopted his man instead. I guess you can officially call him Daddy lol...
Yes, is comon in korea and japan to adopt your lover, when u are part of a same sex couple, theres some benefits involved like health insurance and so then they could be a heir of your thing, I hope someday this would change
I got curious and looked it up but apparently it's not common in SK to adopt your partner because the court can technically reject you if it is obvious you are trying to find a loophole about marriage, which is why I'm surprised the author chose this route (but I also understand the significance of it in this story)
Hold up! Can someone in Japan adopt me? I would like to be Japanese now. Gonna say Goodbye, chao, chao, sayonara to America. Need me a hot Japanese boyfriend...
As per the document shown on the laptop, he did adopt ho as his son on paper to be called a family coz that's the only legal name coz you cannot adopt one as your mother or father or adopt them as your siblings. It's always as a parent and child. That's why Kwon said he was okay to be Sung Haebom (surname of Ho) but he was too old to be adopted as a son by Ho, so it was Kwon who adopted Ho on paper. (This is how I understand it)
They're main goal is to be really a legal family on paper, because there's no marriage available.
Oooh I got so many replies thanks for clearing that up I was so confused at first lol I’m happy for them(▰˘◡˘▰)
Hold up wait a minute did he adopt his boyfriend as his son I need clarification. I just really need clarification lol I wasn’t sure if he was adopting his baby or he wanted him to adopt him.
