Korea was the second Asian country to introduce universal long-term care insurance in an attempt to meet the challenges posed by its ageing population. This article presents an overview of the key issues that were involved in designing and implementing the new Korean system and the lessons that have been learned. Although the government reformed the long-term care system, a number of new challenges have emerged, such as its limited coverage and the unethical behavior of service providers. These problems appear to be closely associated with the scheme's initial design flaws and the government's passive responses to these problems
