[Unreal]

I'm finishing my third year teaching here with my third different school and am looking into receiving my pension money back. I talked to another foreign teacher at my school who has been in Korea for many years and he said that he expects to receive quite a bit of money (several years worth of pension money) when he finally decides to return home. According to the pension office, I have only paid into pension for one year (this past year) even though my previous employers took money from my monthly pay for pension, taxes, etc.

So before I accuse anyone of anything, is there any other reason (other than my previous hagwons giving me the shaft) for me to not have accumulated pension money for the past 3 years?

(I was thinking about it more and realized that I never received a medical insurance booklet in my first year nor was either employer able to give me proof of my paying taxes in Korea. I had good relationships with my past employers and still keep in touch with them so it's a bit of a shock to realize that I have likely been scammed for about 6M won.)
