Well sure, if the fine is only a million, you score a million or 2.

What multiple Koreans reported the same person?

Say 50 people reported 1 guy. Would there be a total payout of 150 million?

Damn... I've got to talk to the family about an idea....

I hope some people start dobbing me in. Not only would it waste officials' time I'd get to see where my enemies are.

Is there a penalty for being wrong?

Couldn't someone just pass in EPIK GEPIK and SMOE lists and rake in huge?

80-90% of them have to be doing privates anyways.

You'd better be careful. So far you've done quite well in Korea for a guy with no college degree, but with these new rewards, who knows which ajumma will report you.

Personally i don't think we're going to see a huge exodus of foreigners.

2 million isn't enough to make me Narc out friends. Or even people who are just associates that I despise.

Consider how much you ruin other teacher's lives for something that, although illegal, is not grossly immoral.

Mothers won't narc out their own teachers, that's just not cool at all (It's part of the unwritten mother code, you should all read up on it online). Unless the teacher did something like abuse their children (but then they would have been reported just for that). Usually mothers who hire foreign teachers have money. It's less likely that 2 million won is sbustantial enough to betray the trust of a teacher for scrap money.

It's the mother of the children next door that can't afford you, or like Itaewon Guy said the guard that you have to watch out for.

Best bet, don't teach illegally.
