What exactly does that mean?

In addition to a resume/C.V., there is also a need of 'proof of employment' or 'work record'.

Does that mean a contact name, address, phone, email, etc.? Or a formal record or statement from each employer??

If you mean in Korea, a work record is a formal form you get from your school which proves you worked there.

The easiest way is to use the phone.

Call each of your previous employers and ask for it. To get them quickly they can fax them to you...

Actually physically going to each of your previous employers is much more difficult.

I'd follow ThePoet's suggestion, but if you cant get the forms in time, go ahead with the interview anyway, give them an honest accounting of when & where you worked & explain that youre in the process of getting the forms. If you ace the interview, I'd guess they'd cut you some slack over a mere formality.

A heads-up to others leaving a job: the easiest time to get a proof of employment document (reference letters too) is right then when youre finishing up, whether you'll ever need them or not.

Um, usually you need to go to each Education Office for the provinces you have worked in and find someone in the office that deals with EPIK teachers, they in turn give you a piece of paper that you go down to the room at the gate where you stop at before driving in and parking at the education office. The staff at the gate post usually make a charge to issue you with a piece of paper with a little red stamp on it and then off you go.

Your ex schools do not do this for you usually!
