Four pages on it here. It was moved to General Discussion from here as I'm sure this will be if it isn't just locked and left to die.

This part makes no sense to me:

After the age of 22, men will be allowed to maintain multiple citizenship only if they complete their military service here. Under the current law, dual citizenship holders must choose one nationality by the age of 22 and submit a written pledge to give up their foreign citizenship if they choose their Korean nationality. The revision is aimed at blocking a drain on military manpower.

Those caught using their foreign passports to enter international schools or invest in Korea as foreigners will be ordered to choose a single nationality and automatically lose their Korean nationality if they fail to give up their foreign citizenship within a specified period.


So they have to give up their rights as citzens of other countries, but are still being granted "dual-citizenship"? Which is it? Seems like more of the same to me.
