'''Koreans regarded those women who had "special relationships" with foreign soldiers to be outcastes in Korean society. Many women who turned to prostitution were widows and single unmarried women. These women tended to live in deep poverty and saw prostitution as a way to sustain themselves.'''

Second Republic (1960–1961)
The Second Republic viewed prostitution as something of a necessity. In 1960, lawmakers of the National Assembly urged the South Korean government to train a supply of prostitutes for allied soldiers to prevent them from spending their dollars in Japan. Lee Seung-u, the deputy home minister, gave a response to the National Assembly that the government had made some improvements in the "Supply of Prostitutes" for American soldiers.

In May 1961 the Prostitution Law to replace the Public Prostitution Elimination Law was issued by USAMGIK.

'''In August 1961 Tourism Promotion Law was created which supported camp town prostitution and even had it watched and regulated by the government. This demand for more women and open invitation for working in military camp town prostitution camps caused a surge of women to become involved. Many women who were interviewed testified that in the 1960s the amount of women who were in camp town was about that same amount as there were soldiers.'''
