I have a criminal background check but it will be about 5 months old when I'm likely to begin my contract.

There is a lot of contradictory information about how long they stay valid online. Some say 6 months some say 3.

Does anyone know for sure?

It's 6 months from the date of the check to the date it arrives with immigration, not the date on your contract/start work/arrive in Korea. Mine was up on 28th Feb, and it only got to immigration 21st Feb. I didn't arrive in Korea until 10th March.

The 3 months is for different situations. In you case for an application it is six months. If you are paranoid check you country/region Korean consulate and what they say. Some of the Canadian say 6 months. Did not really check or others.
