Abstract Aim To explore the motivation and lived experience of nurses responding to the COVID‐19 pandemic in South Korea. Background Identifying motivation, barriers and facilitators to nurses' willingness to work during a pandemic is necessary to prepare for future pandemic responses. Methods Ten individual interviews were conducted. Interviews were analysed and synthesized following Colaizzi's method. Results Six major themes identified: Decision to participate in the COVID‐19 response; Facing hardship; Distress due to the nature of COVID‐19; Overcoming hardship; Growing through the COVID‐19 response; and The need for reciprocity. Conclusion The increased demands for nursing care during the pandemic highlight the need for strong organisational support and effective workforce strategies. Our study results can inform the development of programmes and policies that are proactive, rather than reactive, to prepare for future pandemic situations. Implications for Nursing Management To recruit and manage nurses during a pandemic effectively, a safe work environment with proper resources should be established. Additionally, adequate education, training and compensation are needed.
