Hoju
The Hoju scheme is a family register system in North Korea and formerly in South Korea. Hoju (Hangul: 호주, Hanja: 戶主) means the 'head of the family', Hojuje (호주제, 戶主制) is the 'head of the family' system, and Hojeok (alternate romanization: Hojok; 호적, 戶籍) is the 'family register'. In South Korea, it was formally introduced in 1953.
It is similar to the Japanese koseki, the Chinese hukou system and the Vietnamese Hộ khẩu.
Opponents of the hoju system believed it to be innately patriarchal and representing a 'violation of the right to gender equality'. In South Korea, it was opposed by both feminists and by representatives of other religious traditions including Buddhism and Christianity. South Korea abolished hoju on 1 January 2008 after the Constitutional Court found it incompatible with the constitution in 2005.

Hey Joe
by: Kitty WellsHey Joe someone stole your pearly girlie walked off with your jolly dolly
Maybe now you chanced to dance with me
Hey Joe I feel mighty lovey dovey let me be your new for toody
I'll be just as sweet as sweet can be
Now Joe I know just how you feel can't your fickle sweety left before a heel
But if I could be your sweety pie I'll promise you no other guy
Would steal me from you
Hey Joe go put on your dancin' shoes and I'll help you forget your blues
I'll simply got to have you for my own
[ steel - fiddle ]
Hey Joe please don't think I'm nuddy noddy don't think I'm a flirty girly
Cause I let you know I go for you
Hey Joe my poor heart is yearning burning just to hold you tightly nighty
Do I need you yes I guess I do
I love you Joe that's how I feel if I have a chance to prove my love is real
I'll be true to you forever and I swear no one could ever hope to steal me from you
Hey Joe if you want me tell me so my heart is packed and set to go
