Hi,
I was wondering what would happen financially if you ended up not liking Korea or job. This would be for a GEPIK contract so would you have to pay back your flight to korea, settlement allowance, and 900,000 apartment security? Thanks so much.

Read your contract. But I'm guessing that if you leave within the first 6 months you will have to pay back the flight expense and possibly incur other fees as well. After 6 months you are not penalized - rather you lose the benefits of contract completion.

It IS defined in your contract.

IF you give proper notice:

You repay your airfare/entry allowance. 1.3m krw
You repay your settlement allowance. 300k krw

They return your deposit (less any outstanding bills) 900k krw.

You leave.
