The commission’s findings were published on Wednesday following a nearly three-year investigation into complaints filed by 367 of some 140,000 South Korean children who were adopted to six European countries, including Denmark – which called on South Korea to investigate the adoptions back in 2022 – the United States and Australia.

It's especially ironic that South Korea is in the middle of a demographic squeeze, with not enough people having children to make up for the 'replacement rate.'

And here they were a generstion ago, exporting children.
