If the family was so cohesive in Korea, why were twins being raised apart?

The twins were born in 1974 in Seoul, South Korea. One of the twins became lost at age two after visiting a market with her grandmother. She was later taken to a hospital that was approximately 100 miles away from her family’s residence and diagnosed with the measles. Despite her family’s attempt to find her, she was placed into the foster system and ended up being adopted by a couple residing in the United States.

Note that measles can impair intelligence, as could other environmental factors, such as lead.

The article explains that one child became separated from her grandmother in a market, taken to an orphanage a 100 miles away, and was never found by her parents. As an adult, she found her twin in Korea through a DNA test.
