It's a weekday morning and Chung Sang-hoon, 34, is at home with his two small children, classical music playing in the background.
Fathers like Chung, who has taken a year of paternity leave from his job in sales with a big foreign company, were once so rare in male-dominated South Korea that they are called "superdads".
But their ranks are growing.
South Korean women have long believed employers punish them with lower wages and by passing over them for promotions because they're likely to take time off to have children.
That concern among women has contributed to the lowest birth rate among countries in the OECD group of rich nations.
President Park Geun-hye has made paternity leave a priority to address the declining birth rate and give a boost to women's careers, and this month she unveiled a multi-billion plan to combat the grim demographic outlook.
