Id say

looks
pay expectation
whether or not youre already in korea
maybe experience a little bit.

I have an Englrish accent, and while it may not have been desirable before, everyone thinks youre Benedict Cumberpatch now, so it wins you points.

The other stuff is just crap they say in job adverts most of the time.

If you are in Korea and do not need visa sponsorship, having a pulse and being friendly are probably the most important factors.

If that does not apply then age, experience and looks are the most important.

When you guys say "looks," is there a specific look? Or a specific race or gender? Or is it just being attractive in general?

These are the least important in Korea.
