I'm considering a job offer in Yongin city with a school belonging to the Jungchul language school chain. Any experience with either would be welcome.

It's a very rural kind of setting. The air is clean and it is not crowded but there is very little to do around there. If you are an urban type, I would not recommend it.

Yungin city isn't that bad. It is south of Seoul, but there are many many buses going into the Chamshil part of Seoul. It is an easy 40-60 minutes. There are huge residential housing complexes and most of these area have a new planned feel to them. These new areas are very close to Pundang (subway line into Seoul) and Suwon city population a cool 1,000,000 and Suwon is a fun city too. Yungin is a good city, I wouldn't be too worried about living there, unless you want hard edged urban grit.
