Answer:
The new F6 visa is an alternative to the Korean-spousel F2-1 visa, being basically the same, but not subject to early cancellation by the Korean spouse when the marriage ends for unforeseeable circumstances.
Many immigrants who have settled in Korea before or after marrying a Korean, and on the F2-1 visa, had been held to random or punished by vindictive or malicious Korean ex-spouses after a sour relationship ended, and so the Korean government has sought to provide better means for immigrants to remain settled in Korea. Nearly all F2-1 visas are now renewable to an F6, upon payment of a 20,000w fee, and submission of an application with passport photo and existing F2-1 card/passport.
The alternative is the longstanding F5 visa, which, unlike the F2-1 and F6, does not expire/is not subject to a renewal requirement.
