Some people hold dual or multiple citizenships by birth, if they inherited different nationalities from each of their parent, or if they inherited one nationality from their parent(s) and acquired another nationality from the country where they were born, which offer birthright citizenships, at the same time. In the past, the Republic of Korea (here after, Korea) did not allow to maintain multiple citizenships and it imposed to choose only one nationality on persons with multiple nationality by birth when they became legally adults. However, since 1st January 2011, the Korea has permitted multiple citizenships in certain cases. As for the persons who obtained multiple citizenships by birth, it is allowed to keep their multiple nationalities if they take a vow not to exercise a foreign nationality. When the Ministry of Justice drafted a bill permitting multiple citizenships to people who acquire them by birth, some argued that the new Nationality act would allow certain privilege to upper class society with multiple nationalities. However, after the bill was implemented as a revised Nationality Act, many Korean-americans who became multiple citizenship holders complain about the new Act saying that the new Act pose an obstacle for Korean-american adults with multiple citizenships who wish to be certain high-ranking government officials which are apt to prefer candidates with mono citizenship as American, because the new act severly restrict to renounce the Korean Nationality for men who reach the age for Korean military service until they fulfill Korean military duty, unlike that the previous Act made lose Korean Nationality automatically for Korean- american adult who held both Korean and American nationality. The complaint from Korean-american means that the permission of the multiple citizenship made unexpected side-effects and that the multiple citizenship system is in need of reform.
