Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think TOSS employs foreigners. Certainly unfortunate for the Korean teachers though.

For all their wrong doing, they had the most appropriate name out of all of the academies

There will be a handful of TOSS franchises that would run independently.

My coworkers wife bought a TOSS hagwon last summer, but I believe they are independent. Things were going well at his school, last I heard.

YELP is another very appropriate name, stands for Yonsei English Language Program. It cracks me up every time.
