Assuming you're like me, you'll be able to service your debts and live comfortably in Korea even at 1.8 mil won a month job. (I don't drink, I smoke, Darwin was right)

I send home a million won a month and I'm still living well here, paying my Korean bills and going out every weekend. You'll be fine as long as you're not planning any huge extravagant vacations during your time off.
