It's all about introducing cultural diversity. Koreans could do with a lesson on it. Keep the goatee.

I talked to him about it, he said I could keep it. I keep it trimmed and neat, I definately don't look like a hippie. My hair is short and well groomed as well. I grew it in the first place because I have somewhat of a baby face and the facial hair adds a bit of maturity to my appearance. I would consider shaving it off if it was some kind of a deciding factor in a school that I wanted to work at, but am going to leave it otherwise.

Thanks for the help.

The hagwon is probably going to show your photo to the parents and students (especially if their prior foreign teacher has already finished working) to convince them that yes, a new teacher really is coming. If you want to help the hagwon out, take a nice picture that doesn't make you look like a serial killer to Korean parents eyes. It's not about dress code or about what is fair to you, it's a nice gesture that can earn you points with your new employer.

PS: I'm sure you'll look better without it.
