❌ Prostitution Illegal

South Korea enforces an absolute, punitive federal prohibition on all tiers of the sex industry beneath the aggressive 2004 Act on the Punishment of Arrangement of Commercial Sex Acts. Under this hardline 'Neo-Abolitionist' framework, police execute coordinated nation-wide sting operations aimed at physically dismantling historic physical red-light districts (Miari Texas) and severely prosecuting both the sex workers and their clients.
