A South Korean court has allowed same-sex couples to receive the same rights, under the national health service, as heterosexual couples.
The landmark ruling, which occurred on Tuesday (21 February), marks South Korea’s recognition of social benefits for same-sex couples.
This decision rewrites a previous ruling, which occurred in January 2022, that rejected a gay couple’s attempt to obtain shared health benefits.
In 2021, plaintiff So Seong-wook sued the National Health Insurance Service after the health agency revoked his status as a “spousal dependent” to his same-sex partner Kim Yong-min, CNN reports.
