I definitely agree with most of the other posters-don't bring anything.
It isn't necessary and can be perceived as condescending.

It's not as if Korea is some third world country--many items from the west are imported here, and many Koreans themselves have done extensive traveling and lived abroad.

Your heart is in the right place, but wait until someone is "gift worthy" before giving them anything--and even then it should just be being an excellent employee.

Like other posters said, you don't have to buy anything.

+1 on the dress nicely, show up early, have lessons done with alternate activities prepped for your classes

AND
leave spare time for staff dinners, asking about OT, smile

goes further than giving a trinket that may or may not be wanted


Exactly. Don't buy them anything. Do your job and save your money.
