I have been living out of the country for 20 years now. At my last family visit, I noticed a growing population of Vietnamese women migrating to Southern rural area of South Korea. While driving around the countryside, I noticed a small banner written \u201cVietnam bride\u201d with mobile phone number in the middle of nowhere. I got curious to find out how would a Vietnamese bride adjusts her life, e.g. Korean language barrier, family culture, and social stigma, in homogeneous society of Korea. For a long time, I myself had to understand and deal with them when marrying a foreigner, my <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">husband.\u00a0I immediately got interested in these Vietnamese women, in their environment, experiences, dreams, hopes and motivations.<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/6&#8243; offset=&#8221;vc_hidden-xs&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row content_placement=&#8221;middle&#8221;][vc_column][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;40px&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row full_width=&#8221;stretch_row_content_no_spaces&#8221; gap=&#8221;20&#8243; content_placement=&#8221;middle&#8221;][vc_column][vc_single_image image=&#8221;6199&#8243; img_size=&#8221;full&#8221; add_caption=&#8221;yes&#8221;][vc_single_image image=&#8221;6200&#8243; img_size=&#8221;full&#8221; add_caption=&#8221;yes&#8221;][vc_single_image image=&#8221;6201&#8243; img_size=&#8221;full&#8221; add_caption=&#8221;yes&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row content_placement=&#8221;middle&#8221;][vc_column][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;20px&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row content_placement=&#8221;middle&#8221;][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/6&#8243; offset=&#8221;vc_hidden-xs&#8221;][vc_column_text][\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;2\/3&#8243; offset=&#8221;vc_col-xs-12&#8243;][vc_column_text]<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I called and contacted Korean families through city hall and community center, but social stigma prohibited these newly wed women to speak to outsiders. It was quite impossible to gain access to the Vietnamese women in Korea. I have made some contacts with several Vietnamese journalists and then travelled down to Mekong. I found this small island, Tan Loc, which locals indicated that many girls from that island had married to foreigners. Hence, it has been nicknamed as \u201cTaiwanese Island\u201d.<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/6&#8243; offset=&#8221;vc_hidden-xs&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row content_placement=&#8221;middle&#8221;][vc_column][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;40px&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row full_width=&#8221;stretch_row_content_no_spaces&#8221; gap=&#8221;20&#8243; content_placement=&#8221;middle&#8221;][vc_column][vc_single_image image=&#8221;6202&#8243; img_size=&#8221;full&#8221; add_caption=&#8221;yes&#8221;][vc_single_image image=&#8221;6203&#8243; img_size=&#8221;full&#8221; add_caption=&#8221;yes&#8221;][vc_single_image image=&#8221;6204&#8243; img_size=&#8221;full&#8221; add_caption=&#8221;yes&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row content_placement=&#8221;middle&#8221;][vc_column][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;20px&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row content_placement=&#8221;middle&#8221;][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/6&#8243; offset=&#8221;vc_hidden-xs&#8221;][vc_column_text][\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;2\/3&#8243; offset=&#8221;vc_col-xs-12&#8243;][vc_column_text]<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For about 3 years I have visited and photographed in that island every 6 months.
