Thought it would be nice to make a list of all the hagwons to avoid. Hopefully these hagwons will run out of business! I'll start with 2.

1. New Briton, Hongseong (close to Daechon)
2. Avalon, Uijeongbu

No.5

Are there any decent sites that serve the same purpose.

I found one but It seems way out of date.

Kids College in Dunsan-dong, Daejeon.

Under current management of Ms. Kim and Mr. Yu, you can expect tyranny.

Make sure you look at the dates on some of those reports. We're talking about hagwons here, the entire chain could turn over in a couple of years.

King's English - Buk-gu - Daegu.

Their slogan is 'a royal family'. Haha what a joke.
