There is a long history of slavery in Korea, although the practice in modern-day South Korea is now illegal. ==History of slavery in Korea==
Slavery in Korea has existed since before the Silla period (approximately 2,000 years ago).〔 Slavery went into decline around the 10th century, but came back in the late Koryo period (when Korea also experienced a number of slave rebellions).〔 The slave caste, known as nobi (also described as serfs), was quite large. In 1690 nobi were estimated to account for over a third (37%) of the Korean society,〔 (though in those centuries it might have varied widely between that number and as low as 10%〔) and slavery has been described as "very important in medieval Korea, probably more important than in any other East Asian country". Population growth,〔 numerous escaped slaves,〔 and changes to the agricultural economy led to the decline in the number of nobi to about 1.5% by 1858. A policy of gradual emancipation was put in place in 1775,〔 and starting in 1801, the government begun freeing its own slaves.〔 The hereditary nobi system was abolished around 1886〔 or 1887,〔 (sources vary on specific date) and the rest of the nobi system was abolished with the Gabo Reform of 1894 or in 1895〔 (again, sources vary). However, slavery did not disappear in Korea until 1930, during Imperial Japanese rule.〔 During the Japanese occupation of Korea around World War II, some Koreans were used in forced labor by the Japanese, in conditions which have been compared to slavery.〔〔 These included women forced into sexual slavery by the Imperial Japanese Army before and during WWII, known as comfort women.
