So I had a recruiter give me this website where he said I would be staying:
http://blog.naver.com/dukwon0604/20156244770

If you look at the comments (Click on 덧글 15 at the bottom to open up 15 comments) they are all dated on the same date with only a couple minutes apart and all the comments saying basically the same thing "thanks for the information/post" There are also no comments since that date and 10 minute time slot which makes me believe the blog is fake made by him or the school he wanted me to work for.

Just something maybe some of you want to look out for.

If you haven't caught on already, pay attention. The real-estate sharks here advertise only the best parts and hide the worst. They will show and push you on the hardest to sell places first before opening up the decent places. What you are seeing is the premiere photos of the top apartment.

Don't worry, if you are getting a place in that building, odds are it won't be what you see in the pictures. It will likely be the smallest and possibly dirtiest one in the building. Maybe it was the one that the old da-bang adjuma was living in and turning tricks out of.

Make the best of what you are given, clean everything before moving in.

The alternative is to take your 10 or 15 million won and find your own place.

Or try Incheon, where you can get a nice place for under 5 million key money.

That's Bangwha, where I used to live. You will probably be staying in either Opian I or II. It is a nice little place, although yeah, the interior doesn't look like that.
