The aim of this study is to observe the settlement experience among elderly North Korean women defectors who have been living in South Korea, and to understand their experience more fully. In this study, we adopted Colaizzi’s phenomenological research method.

We utilized the purposed sampling and an in-depth interview for data collection. Data analysis was based on Colaizzi’s six specific steps. As a result, eight theme clusters and sixteen themes were deduced from this research. The eight theme clusters are , , , , , , , . Based on these results, we discussed the meaning of elderly North Korean women’s settlement experience in South Korea from a socio-cultural aspect and provided social welfare implications and future research suggestions.
