Court ruling in favor of gay couple

A gay couple -- So Seong-wook (3rd from L) and Kim Yong-min (4th from L) -- meet the press at Seoul High School on Feb. 21, 2023, after the appellate court ruled in favor of the same-sex couple demanding the same spousal coverage from the state health insurance program as heterosexual couples. The plaintiff, So, filed the administrative lawsuit against the National Health Insurance Service in February 2021, after the agency ordered him to pay insurance premiums as he is not qualified as a dependent of his male spouse.
