I should say that I am not actually planning to do this but i am just curious what happens if someone did this.

Joining the armed services of another country or excepting a position in their government will void your U.S citizenship. As far as becoming an Korean citizen you would have to contact their Embassy here in the U.S.
Might I suggest the option of dual citizenship as to renouncing your present status. The U.S. is not so accomidating to people who wish to reclaim citizenship.

i do not think that you have to renounce your citizenship in america. Just go over there and become a korean. I think that the fact that you did that will but your citizenship in question if you ever wanted to come back.
Do what you gotta do friend. C U......

Why not be an Ex-Pat American living in Korea?
Why in the world would you even entertain the thought of renouncing your U.S. Citizenship? Your family worked too hard to get to America and earn their citizenship for you to even think about trashing their legacy and their sacrifice for you!

Look at the consulate service page on this site.

It looks like Korea will not allow dual citizenship, anyway.
The rules are different depending on your ethnicity. If one of your parents was a Korean citizen, the process seems to be easier.

if you want to become a Korean citizen... you have to go through a process and take a test...
*** Korea does NOT allow duel citizenship, so they will make you renounce your US citizenship. (i know this because i am half korean and half white american... and I had to choose, because of korean laws)

If you want to renounce your citizenship for a Korean, write to the State Department, surrender your passport, and the best of luck!!

Why would anyone want to do this?
edit: I should clarify my answer. You can live in Korea indefinitely without giving up your citizenship. Just continue to renew your visa. If you give up your U.S. citizenship, you will lose all of the freedoms that you have as an American.

You should be asking the Koreans this questions. I am American. I wished more foreighners would take up their own lands again, as you say you want to do. It is ethical and more peaceful. In my opinion, and we are all intitled to our opinions.
I mean what foreighners have learned here in the state on how to take care and to build things and grow things to eat etc, they should all go back to wence they came. I wished I could afford to go back to my anscestorial land wich is: Holland. Though now I have some Souix Indian in me, I would prefer Holland.
