I keep seeing the term "gyopo teacher" ... But I can't find a definition anywhere.

Before I started this thread, I did a web search... but I mistakenly put "gyopo teacher" in the search line.  I was thinking it was some type of teaching method, LOL. Anyway, that search did not provide a definition of what a gyopo teacher was...
Thanks Steve Rogers and Skipperoo for your "witty" responses. |

I guess some schools want an ethnic Korean (from an English-speaking country) who may be bilingual (English/Korean) ? Whichever way, that rules me out... |

You don't get it, the definition clearly states that they have to live out of the country to be a gyopo.
Live in Korea? disqualified from gyopo status |

As with many words, the strict definition and the colloquial use of it differs.
The definition of gyopo, as colloquially used, is an ethnic Korean who grew up outside of Korea. It's assumed the gyopo was either born, or went to a foreign country at a very young age. So a gyopo's Korean language skills can be anything from zero to native fluent. |

Remember, being a gyopo is NECESSARY for the positions, but not SUFFICIENT...
so all those cheese eatin' wine swillin' gyopos in Paris, are SOL for those jobs....
merde pas de chance, baby...  |
