Marriage Citizenship: Revoked if Divorced?

2025.04.21 02:11Calling all:
✔️ Newlyweds (Foreigner + Korean couple)
✔️ Recent citizenship converters (via marriage or regular)
✔️ Immigration office insiders (👀 spill the tea)
My Question:
A friend dropped a bombshell recently:
"If you get Korean citizenship through marriage, it’s revoked if you divorce later." ??
Is this true? 🤯 I'm not really in the process of marriage but I’ve never heard of this before!
I know multiple people who naturalized via marriage, divorced later, and kept their citizenship. So is this a new law/rule? Or just a myth?
* My friend recently got married to a Korean person and his spouse read this info somewhere on the immigration related source. She clarified that if person went through the "Regular" Naturalization the citizenship not revoked.
Doen not really make sense to me since it is not a VISA we talking about but actual CITIZENSHIP! In some countries you even have to give up your original passport to convert to a new one... I'm honestly curious if any one know s some more info on this topic 🙏
- Is it true or not?
- Does timing matter (X years with citizenship)
- Exceptions – Kids, long-term residency, etc.?

1개월 전I totally have no idea but I am certain that kids who were born under a legal marriage will definite get a citizenship and won't be provoke even though their parents are divorced.
Personally, it seems that you will still be able to hold Korean citizenship if you got it during your marriage because one of my unnis wanna get divorce but she plans to get a citizenship before. So It shouldn't be a case.
