I put in for a job with a recruiter, teaching adults, and got this response:
recruiter wrote:

Most of locations will in KangNam, and if they want you to work at different locations, then they will ask that for you in advance.

If you don�t feel comfortable, then they could be flexible.


About housing,

They could provide a housing, but the housing in Seoul is very expensive.

They have a budget limit, 400,000won rent a month, and if the housing is over than that, you might need to cover the difference"


I read KangNam is expensive. This pays 2.3. Will 400,000won get anything?

Is this a pass?

Possibly, but you probably wouldn't want to live there.

Find a room in an apartment in Itaewon or Haebonghchon. They're dirt cheap. The commute would be pretty reasonable and you'd be in one of the most fun neighborhoods in the city.

Yep, something like that. I live with 3 other guys and pay 450 utilities included.

Wow, that's exactly what I want to do, including paying only 450.
