right cuz i was confused too
So in Japan men can’t marry each other so one “adopts” the other so they can share the same last name, it makes them family but not married, later couples can have a ceremony in Japan and then get legally married in another country (*´︶`*)
Since gay marriage isn’t legalized a way of doing it is adding a person to a family registry. This is done by “adopting” the partner. This way you are legally family and have the same last name. It’s not perfect but it’s the only way you can do something similar to marriage.
In most Asian countries gay marriage is illegal, so if anything happen to your partner you have no say in it cause you aren’t the immediate family. The only thing one can do is adopt their partner , so they are related in case of an emergency or anything
not a mistranslation. in some countries including korea, sometimes you dont get privileges as a family/a hetero couple do (e.g if one get hospitalized, only family / partner can see them. if youre in a same sex rs, this doesnt apply). you also cant get married to your same sex partner so adoption is a loophole people use to still have that privileges and be together.
kwon cant be a co-parent bc thats not a thing in the system. thats equal to a spouse. so it was either kwon adopt ho and sol or ho adopt kwon.
(pls correct me if im wrong this is just stuff i read online)
You are correct!
I’m confused I thought Mr Kwon adopted Sol as like a second parent, not adopted Ho??? Why would he adopt his boyfriend bro, is this just a mistranslation?
