'''South Korea''', a traditionally non-circumcising nation, nevertheless, adopted the practice of non-therapeutic [[circumcision]] during and after the Korean War (1950-53). The adoption of [[circumcision]] may be traced to 1950, when the [[United States]] , which was then a nation devoted to circumcision, intervened in the Korean War (1950-52) and large numbers of mostly [[circumcised]] American troops were sent into South Korea to aid in its defense.<ref name="kim1999">{{REFjournal
