Going to the police is a smart move. Do you have any Korean friends? Someone who can translate for you? Also don't go in their angry. Play into it by acting scared and worried.
With a police report filed, at least you'll have something on file. |

maybe i'm alone here and i DON'T mean to be apologetic, but is it possible that he mis quoted?

is this going to solve his problem?
keep him from hitting you and pin him....then...just for kicks, i'd give him a noogie. |

Jeez. To think this kind of crap was going on in hagwons back in '97. Nothing changes.
Listen Buddy for what it's worth your garbage employers are violating the Korean labour laws. Clause 2 of the Korean LSA (Labour Standards Act) states:
An employer must not resort to dismissal, lay off, suspension, transfer, reduction of wages or any other discliplinary action without justifiable cause
I guess you know the Ministry of Labour's website? www.molab.go.kr They do have an English page but it's hard to navigate through all the guff, ministerial speeches and stats that are displayed to impress the foreign community but serve no helpful purpose at all to people in your situation.
If you don't have an interpreter and need immediate expression of your side of the story I can only suggest you try the Seoul Hot Line that allegedly Assists foreigners with living information in Seoul Phone Number: 080 731 0911
Listen I'd translate for you but my time is not available during weekdays and I'm off to Pusan for the weekend. You're welcome to PM me if things get desperate.
Keep cool and smile through the confrontations. When they see they don't have a leg to stand on and are breaking the law they'll start smiling too, to save face. |

In korea the guy who hits first is more in the wrong, but they look to see the damage done. DO NOT HIT A KOREAN.....it is really a bad idea. Can you speak to the police to explain...NO!
Do not give stupid advice..if he wants to hit you, then leave and run away....i am telling you it is not like Canada or America where you can attack someone who deserves it. You will burn for hitting him. |
