Provincial Government reported on the 20th that after investigation
it was found that the posting woman
A was a young unmarried mother who placed her child online to seek adopters due to financial difficulties.
When A was investigated by the police, he said that because he and the
biological father of the child did not have the financial ability to raise the child, he decided to give the child away.
A also claimed that she had asked the relevant adoption agency before posting on the Internet, but due to the complicated procedures and harsh conditions, she had to put her child on a second-hand trading website.
Due to the perennial sluggish birth rate, the South Korean government has introduced a number of preferential policies to encourage people to have more births.

The governor of Jeju Province, Won Hee-ryong, posted on social networking sites on the
18th that in the future, the system for protecting women will be
improved and the obstacles to the legal adoption process will be found.
