More South Koreans have been embarking on extra-marital affairs since the nation's top court abolished a law that made adultery illegal and punishable with a prison term.
A survey conducted by Macromill Embrain in August determined that 39.3 percent of South Korean men and 10.8 percent of women have been unfaithful to their spouses.
For the men, that figure is an increase of 2.4 percent on a similar survey conducted in 2014, while the rate is up 4.3 percent for women.
The study suggested that wealthy people tended to have more affairs, the Chosun Ilbo newspaper reported, with more than half of the married people earning W7 million (GBP3,848) per month indulging in illicit relationships.
Age was also a factor, with more than 30 percent of people in their 50s having affairs, but less than 20 percent of 20- and 30-somethings admitting to cheating. Full story...
