What kind of rec. letters do they seek? Letters from employers? Well-spoken peers? Certified teachers? Random upstanding Korean citizens? I am just curious as to the process of it. Also, what is the best way to contact Epik assuming I have some pre-application questions.

EPIK answers your question on their website, it's not exactly hidden. Found on EPIK website under application --> required documents.

http://www.epik.go.kr/category/detail.epik?cid=16#DOC05

Basically, http://www.epik.go.kr/ answers most everything you need to know.

Thank You for making that clearer for me. I haven't worked under any educators for a while, so I hope that I can find someone that will write my letters for me.

It does not have to be in the education field. Just get two people (from different companies or institutions).

You simply need two letters, in the appropriate format, from SUPERIORS. Not co-workers of equal capacity to you-- they must be a person you report to in some sense. If you are a student, you could use a professor. There's one. If you have a job, get one from your boss. There's two.

Honestly, I doubt they even read them, just like the essay on the application. They certainly wont bother to contact your references.
