This study explores the parenting experiences of international students, focusing on the case of Uzbek students, who comprise the third largest group of international students in Korea. The objective of this study is to better understand international students’ parenting challenges while juggling academic and parenting duties in the different sociocultural context and suggest helpful services and programs for international student-parents residing in Korea. To achieve this, in-depth interviews were conducted with fourteen Uzbek student-parents living in metropolitan areas from April to August 2022. The study utilized the case study method of qualitative research. As a result, various themes were identified, including “balancing academic and parenting responsibilities”, “financial insecurity”, “access to affordable accommodation”, “preservation of cultural and traditional values”, and “unwavering support during pregnancy, childbirth, and child-rearing”. The study revealed that despite facing various challenges, the participants were committed to fulfilling their responsibilities as parents and students and being optimistic about achieving their educational goals. Additionally, the study highlighted the importance of providing childcare assistance to international student-parents in Korea, both on and off campus.
