During and following the Korean War, the United States military used regulated prostitution services in South Korean military camptowns. Despite prostitution being illegal since 1948, women in South Korea were the fundamental source of sexual services for the US military and a component of Korean-American relations.

Kijichon, literally camptown, refers to the towns surrounding military bases of the United States Forces Korea (USFK). They are generally located in more rural areas, many of which are near the Korean demilitarized zone. The inhabitants do not interact with Korean society at large due to the stigma associated with living and working in kijichon. In terms of Korean citizens, kijichon are primarily populated by the poor and otherwise marginalized. The towns exist mainly to provide prostitution to American soldiers, which was deemed as "necessary for soldiers to continue protecting South Korea, and was beneficial for economic development" in kijichon. All of the businesses in these towns that explicitly cater to "U.S. military personnel must be licensed by the Korea Special Tourist Association." This cooperation with the government and the fact that many bases are located near the demilitarized zone makes it easier to conceal the sex work and G.I. crime from the general population.
Women's role in the Democratization of South Korea is a topic that has been rarely discussed and rarely acknowledged. Women's participation in civil society has contributed to the process of the development of democracy in South Korea. Additionally, the democratization movement can be described as the increasing participation of marginalized groups such as women. Having said that, democratization was an outlet for women to transform their grievances into actual collective action. With the help of democratization, these activisms were made possible because it opened up tons of opportunities for civil society. Unfortunately, although women have played a role in the Democratization of South Korea, there were still internal and external problems that hindered their growth and development.
