Location doesn't seem that bad, just up north a bit if it is in Goyang. There are different campuses, so I guess it depends which one they are interested in.

Good sign that they are hiring this early: conditions don't look too good though.

They have 4 months hols, 3 mil. Better than many unis nowadays. They don't have severance or housing, but other than that, seems decent.

So that 3M is basically 2.something after you pay for your own housing and when you factor in the absence of severance at the end of the contract.

How can they offer no severance? I thought it was a legal requirement (?)

Not for some Universities, they can enroll the professor in a different program or plan.

whoops, my face is red. I should have caught that. Well how long is the contract? Maybe the school gives a 11 month one and can avoid the severance by being short on the year requirement.

No egg required...you are correct.
Universities that enroll teachers into their private pension plan don't legally have to pay severance...often written right into the contract.
Some interesting laws regarding this subject.
