As many Koreans have told me, I don't understand Korean culture. I think it's because I'm a foreigner. Can KOTRA help me?

Ha.. just joking around. Sounds great.

Didnt you leave out the part where it says you must be a foreign executive or one of their family members? Or does that really not matter?

It's not really close to a subway station.

Yangjae station on line 3 is close-ish, but still a bus-or-taxi ride, if you're coming from Bundang, there are buses from Bokjeong Station on the Bundang line/Line 8. If you're coming from Anyang/Ansan/Sanbon take like number 4 to Seonbawi Station and catch a bus (pretty much any bus) from exit 1.

I just called and they said you can't attend classes if you have an E-2 Visa. It's only for business type ex-pats.
I was so excited because I really wanted to take the class since it was so close to my apartment.

Do they check your passport for your visa status or something?

What if you're F2/F4/F5 by the way?
