Every woman 30s or under I met in the city of Gwangju was also living a home with her parents as well.

Where did I say they were in the majority? I only pointed out that there are people all over Korea that don't fall into pest2's narrow definition of how she think Koreans live. Seriously do you really think that most 40 year olds who are say public school teachers and making good money still live with Mommy and Daddy? If they are unemployed/making only a little money, then yes I can see that. But in every place I've ever been I've known men and women who fit the above criteria I posted. And I live in rural conservative areas.

...

Also keep in mind that many young women/men tend to migrate out of rural areas and towards urban areas.
About 1 in 10 of every household in Korea was single person and that was back in 1990 (20 years ago)


Every single woman in her 30s (or under) I know here still live with their parents. In fairness the ones that don't are probably people I'd never encounter because they fled to the big cities, like Gwangju
