在当代西方文化中，同居并不是一个大问题--它已经成为日常生活中的一种正常做法。但在韩国，情况并非如此，因为婚姻制度仍然被认为是授予“成人公民身份”的关键关系(Josephson 2005：272)。非婚同居因此在某种程度上是一种禁忌。与此同时，同性恋虽然既不合法也不违法，但也是禁忌，因此同性伴侣的同居在韩国学术界几乎没有讨论，因为首先，它被认为是隐藏的，其次，鉴于同性恋在韩国文化中并不被普遍接受，同性伴侣同居的问题被构建为公共利益之外的问题。
因此，总体而言，韩国同居夫妇如何同居以及同性和异性伴侣在经历上可能存在哪些相似或不同的问题几乎没有受到关注。本论文主要研究夫妻同居的生活经历，即他们在一起的日常生活，以及他们在具体实践中表达同居生活的意义。我参考了2012年4月至9月期间对12名异性恋者、9名同性恋者和14名女同性恋者的采访，他们都是同居的。在我的研究中，我的重点是：1)夫妻是如何以及为什么开始考虑同居并决定这样做的；2)夫妇在多大程度上向其他人(即母亲、父亲、兄弟姐妹、朋友、同事和邻居)披露他们同居的性质，这在韩国仍然是一个大问题；3)我的参与者讨论同居的方式，认为他们效仿和/或拒绝传统的韩国家庭规范。我认为，同居夫妇的同居方式不同，与他们的性别认同一致。
In contemporary western culture, cohabitation is not a major issue – it has become a normal practice in everyday life. This is not at all the case in Korea where the institution of marriage is still considered the pivotal relation that authorises ‘adult citizenship’ (Josephson 2005: 272). Non-marital cohabitation is therefore something of a taboo. At the same time, homosexuality, though neither legal nor illegal, is also taboo and hence same-sex couples’ cohabitation has hardly been discussed in Korean academe because first, it is expected to be hidden and, second, given that homosexuality is not generally accepted in Korean culture, the issue of same-sex couples’ cohabitation is constructed as outside of public interest.
Hence, overall, little attention has been paid to the question of how Korean cohabiting couples live their cohabitation and what the similarities/differences in experience might be among same-sex and different-sex couples. This thesis centres on couples’ reported experiences of living cohabitation, that is the dailiness of their lives together and its meaning as they articulate it in terms of particular practices. I draw on interviews carried out between April and September 2012 with twelve heterosexuals, nine gays and fourteen lesbians, all of whom were cohabiting. In my research I focus on: 1) how and why couples come to consider cohabiting and decide to do so; 2) the extent to which couples disclose the nature of their cohabitation to others (i.e. mothers, fathers, siblings, friends, work colleagues and neighbours), which remains a big issue in Korea; 3) the ways in which cohabitation is discussed by my participants as emulating and/or rejecting traditional Korean family norms. I argue that cohabiting couples do cohabitation differently, in line with their sexual identity.
