Korean grandparents raising grandchildren play a significant role for future generations, but there is limited cultural understanding of custodial grandparents. A phenomenological qualitative approach was used to understand the lived experiences of Korean custodial grandparents and the meaning of grandparent caregiving in Korean culture. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 32 custodial grandparents. Three themes emerged: (1) Multifaceted needs and challenges of grandparent-headed families in Korea; (2) Unique cultural phenomena in Korean grandparenting; and (3) Complexities between existing custodial grandparenting challenges and COVID. Findings highlight the importance of understanding cultural factors to better support the marginalized population. Collaboration with community resources is recommended for the development and implementation of culturally responsive programs and policies for grandparent-headed families in Korea
