This study employed a narrative inquiry approach to explore the experiences and meanings of Koryo-Saram mothers residing in Korea as they raise their children. The findings indicate that child-rearing experiences varied among individuals, and their meanings were categorized as follows: efforts to break the cycle of intergenerational poverty, the Koryo-Saram community as a source of support for navigating life in Korea, conflict, compromise, and acceptance of differences, and personal transformation and growth resulting from child-rearing experiences. Furthermore, an analysis of these experiences within institutional, socio-cultural, and familial contexts identified key themes: [inequality in visa qualifications and support], [financial burdens associated with child-rearing and medical expenses], [prejudice and discrimination against Koryo-Saram], [transnational networks within the Koryo-Saram community], [coexisting biculturalism], [the need for counseling support], [strong family bonds], and [restoring relationships with children through self-reflection]. Additionally, this study highlights the practical challenges faced by Koryo-Saram mothers in raising their children and underscores the need for both self-sufficiency and external support. Based on these findings, potential strategies for improvement were discussed. This research contributes to raising awareness of Koryo-Saram families and the broader parenting experiences within Korean society while offering implications for policy initiatives aimed at fostering social integration.
