situation as well as demonstrate the Government’s effort on this matter.
However, the recommendation was not reflected in the report.
Regarding paragraph 100 of the report, the fact that foreign women,
who enter the country with entertainment visas (E-6) from Southeast Asian
countries, often work in the sex industry is widely known. As civil society
strongly argued that this situation could lead to trafficking of foreign
women, the NHRCK recommended incorporating the Government’s
countermeasures for the prevention of human trafficking in the report.
However, the recommendation was not reflected in the report.
Regarding paragraph 129 of the report, the Multicultural Families
Support Act, established in 2008, used the term ‘multicultural families’ in
referring to foreigners who marry Korean nationals or naturalize. With this
respect, civil society strongly criticized that the Government’s support
usually concerned families of married immigrants and their children.
Therefore, the NHRCK recommended including this matter in the report as
it revealed problems related to regulations, systems, policies, and practices.
However, the recommendation was not reflected in the report.
Correction of statistical data, status updates, regulations and factual
information
With regard to paragraph 10 and paragraph 84 of the report, the
NHRCK recommended updating statistical data and its recommendation

paragraphs: paragraph 20(supplemented laws), paragraph 50(modified
inappropriate description), paragraph 64(corrected the content of the law),
paragraph 67(used proper terminology related to international law),
paragraph 71(used proper terminology related to the law and corrected the
content), paragraph 91(corrected the content related to the law), and
paragraph 111(added the fact that the law was amended and implemented)
