Korea decriminalized abortion, but has anything actually changed?

Is abortion legal in Korea? This might be a simple question, but the answer certainly isn’t.
 
Try calling any gynecologist in Korea and ask, “Do you give abortions?” and you’re not likely to get a straight answer, look online and things aren't much clearer.
 
Why? Because even doctors are not sure whether it’s legal or not.
