Inter-cultural Spouses Association

About Us The Inter-cultural Spouses Association (ISA) was founded by foreign women with Korean husbands with the purpose of providing a support network to foreign spouses of Koreans who are either living in Korea or abroad.

History
ISA was an offshoot of a colloquium sponsored by the Korea Unesco Cultural Exchange Services (KUCES) in November 1999 which was participated in by 10 foreign women.,br> In that colloquium, these women talked for the first time ever how is it to have a Korean husband. As expected, inter-racial marriages is not a bed or roses, and it thus underscored the need for these women to form a support network to help and empower themselves. (See related article on the Dialogue, click Publications, and read "Life after Marrying a Korean Man".)
