    I'm pretty much stumped trying to convince my mom and dad that I would like to move to South Korea when I grow up but they wouldn't allow me to. What's the best way to convince my mom and dad so that they could let me move to Korea when I'm 20 years old.

    The best way to convince them is by having an airtight long-term plan that demonstrates your common sense and independence. This means planning (and saving) ahead on transport, employment and accomodation. You should also show them that you are familiar with all the necessary paperwork of permanently moving and living independently, including all the legal crap. Of course, you should also know the Korean language and its writing system. Last but not least, you should have an ample cash reserve just in case. Parents like that, as long as it doesn't come from their own pockets. If you can present all that, then your parents really have no good reason not to let you follow your dreams.

    So, how far along are you? It would help if you showed us what concrete ideas you've already got.

    Try moving out now/when you become an adult (I don't know how old you are), to show them that you can be independent. Keep your house/apartment clean (in case of surprise visits) and eat well (so they don't worry). Get a job so you can pay rent and save for your big move. Check out the job market in South Korea so you can be sure you can get a job there almost immediately.
