Abandoned children of Korean men in the Philippines are seeking compensation and help finding their fathers.

The tagline of a website trying to find Korean fathers who abandoned the children they had with Filipinas reads, "Please contact us if you know a Kopino dad." Kopino or Korinoy is a coined word for children of mixed Korean and Filipino parentage. The website publishes the names of absconding Korean fathers and is operated by a Korean, Koo Bon-chang.

Koo used to run a language school in the Philippines but set up the website three years ago when he found out about the hardships of these abandoned children. He posts photos of the fathers brought to him by the Filipina mothers as well as any information on where in Korea they now live. The photos are taken down once it is confirmed that they are back in touch with the mothers.

"There are many cases in which the fathers call and accuse me of violating their privacy," Koo said. "In one instance a Korean father hired thugs to harass me."
