About Chung Ho Kim[]
When a baby girl, who is the child of a local girl and an American GI is left at the 4077th, namely, at the doorstep of the Officer's "Swamp", with a note presumably by the mother, who left her there explaining that she could not take care of it, and for the command to try to find a home for it, the medical staff desperately try to find a place for it, where they exhaust about every possible channel in trying to find a way to possibly find a desirable home for her. When Hawkeye and B.J. try unsuccessfully to go through the U.S. Army chain of command and get rejected, the second option, with the insistence of Col. Potter, is to try to go through the Korean Government.
The person they talk to is Chung Ho Kim, a South Korean official. He offers little help beyond admitting that, in many cases, a mixed-race child will grow up "virtual slavery", and, even in some cases, killed outright. This echoed Father Mulcahy's earlier assessment of the child's prospects.
Hawkeye and B.J. are aghast but Chung Ho Kim points out that out of all the countries with troops fighting in the Korean War, the United States is the only nation that does not accept the children of their G.I.'s, or offer them a road to citizenship.
