If you are looking at a job in Gunsan at a hogwon, be careful there is one there with managers that will try to screw you over. They will fire you just before the end of your contract....


Just a friendly warning....

I dont think I can say the name of the school without possibly getting charged, cause you cant bad mouth korean schools. Rolling Eyes

What I don't understand are the libel and slander laws here. In civil law where I come from , if the statements are ultimately true, they are not improper. That is also called freedom of speech.

I here ya. But if you are not presently in Korea, they do not have jurisdiction and couldn't do a darn thing to you.

Even if there is an extradition agreement, do you think any country would extradite for libel or slander , especially about a bad hogwan employer?

They could, but it would take a lot of effort. It would sure be interesting to see what kind of settlement, if any, one could get if you sued someone from scaring away potential employees.

Wow, you gotta be A LOT more specific than that. Scumbags are all over the hogwan industry. Rolling Eyes

I doubt there are very many hogwans in Gunsan owned by an American (a white American). I know of only one, but I could be wrong.

Can't remember the name of the school, which is why I asked, but he's the guy who refuses to pay pensions and taxes and breaks other labor laws because "he's an American, so Korean laws don't apply to him". Rolling Eyes
