I am not saying I am an expert, but I have transferred twice in the last 3 years. Basically, here's what you need to do:

1)Get a Letter of Release from current employer--without this you can not pass Go(right, you probably already knew that)

2)Give the LOR and all your other documents to new employer. You may or may not need a new CBC(one time I did, one time I didn't) You may or may not also need a health check.

3)Employer takes documents and your ARC and passport to the nearest Immigration office, and within a couple of days the transfer will be completed. If I remember right, it cost me 90,000 won.

With a transfer no visa run is necessary - my current employer was trying to tell me it was, but I knew otherwise.

One other thing. I'd always heard that one can not transfer a visa until they had been with an employer for at least 9 months. But I did it the first time at the 5 month mark, and and the second time at the 6 month mark. So, if that is the rule, it is not etched in stone.
