I received my visa today and the issue date says 8th of February, 2008 and the period of sojourn is 1 year. But I take it that year begins when I enter Korea, is that correct?
Also under entries it has �s�, I guess that means single entry? Does that mean I can�t leave the country on holiday to say Japan or my visa will become invalid? |

Your issue date is 8th of Feb. It will expire (if not used) on the 8th of May.
Your period of sojourn is 1 year beginning on the date you enter Korea.
Your visa is a single entry. If you wish to leave on a vacation or 2 or 3 and return you must get a re-entry permit from the immigration office. If you fail to do so AND you take a trip out of the country THEN your E2 visa will be canceled.
(the easiest time to get your re-entry permit is when you apply for your ARC - Alien Registration Card. Get your multi-re-entry permit at the same time and save yourself having to worry about it later). The cost is 50k won for a multi-entry permit.
You can also do it later. 30k won for a single re-entry permit (at the airport before you leave) or 50k for a multi (at your local immigration office).
Hope that has cleared things up a bit for you.

Thanks for the info 
Are there are any special documents required to get the multi-entry permit? |

Passport, ARC (may be applied for concurrently), application and fee. |
