I quit before my contract was up for numerous reasons and I am thinking about returning.

Obviously I dont want to tell the school or recruiter about that so I will just not mention it.

Prob is they will likely see my old E2 visa in my passport.

Anyone had that happen to them which caused them problems / issues?

Or should I just not be to worried about it?

I didnt pay back flight money / recruiting fee ect.

So i guess you could say I owed them money

Well some details would be nice? How long after your start did you run? Did school owe you money like pay or cheat you on some area.

As to the money you owe are they actual costs or what is stipulated in the contract. For example lets say you leave at 10 months - does the contract say you have to pay back flight ticket there (which in my mind if you did six months is paid) and recruiters fee.

In the end the best thing to do is just try!

I have know people who have run and come back with no problems.

Still the best advice is
1) go to another area. If you worked in Busan, you burned your bridges there.
2) Keep quite. Do not give info that could hurt your chances of being hired. May want to omit that job in your resume.

Also consider do a search of your name on Daum or Naver to see if any Korean posts pop up about you.

The only person who would know is the school. They might tell immigration and complain, but not all immigration offices. It is not worth it to immigration to anything.

Just apply for your next job.
