Adoption isn't quite the same in other countries as it is in America
What he's doing isn't really adoption by a parent to a child
Its adding a person to your family register so they are labeled as a member of your family, because he can't legally marry him this is the next best thing
I thought he was 18??
I read in this cmt section that it was a mistranslation and that he was 19 about to turn 20 and I ran with it bc it sounds better than him just turning 18
He is eighteen
Korean age system is different from the rest of the world
The are considered a year old when they are born
And everyone in the country regardless of their birthdate becomes a year older on January 1st
what @Ash said is right, plus if something happens then he can inherit his things due to the family link now. Can be registered as a family member if one of them lands in the hospital, etc etc> it is very convenient and some couples do this
I was able to ignore the power imbalance but adopting ur lover?!? Is that even a ring in Korea? If seme is ab to be 20, can’t uke just leave things alone and be together as lovers…
