| Is there any need to go to immigration for this? Would I need to report to the tax office, or would that be handled by the employer/agency? (yeah, fat chance, I bet... anyone know?) |

Who knows, but immigration probably has a leash for your Korean employer to keep complete control of you while you are doing something other than teaching English  |

If it is anything like elsewhere it would be considered self employment keep a reciept of everything you buy with these earnings even clothes or meals and these can be considered a business expense at least thats what I do in the UK. as for the Visa implications im not so sure.
How long you been an actor? |

Is lecturing over the (webcam) internet considered teaching?
It will be based (Produced) in the school where I am employed and
viewed in schools where I am not employed. |

If it's a relatively legit agency, they'll take a copy of your ARC and report the income to the tax office. It'll show up on the end of the year reports.
(most don't do that though) |

| For tutoring/other employments it is a matter of filing the proper forms with the tax office. If you operate a business, they should send you out the forms to complete 4 times each year. You can find some of the forms on the Korean tax website, but my book is at home, so I will have to list the link a little later when I go home. |

It's not immigration's job to make sure you pay your taxes, that's the tax office's. Immigration is no longer involved with respect to the employment of F-visa holders. They don't care what you do for work. Just pay your taxes at the end of the year like everyone else & all is good.
Immi is a non-issue in ALL employment of F-visa holders.
