How about BCM? "Byung Chul Min"

The owner has such a big ego he has to name the hagwon after his name.....

I would like to open a hagwon called "GUY DaWG TTW" : Give Us Your Daughters and We'll Give Them The World.

Don't think that'd go over too well, though.

Or how about KARE? Kindy Arse Rocket English (you know, for the old dong-cchim maneuver...)

Maybe WANTS WON Hagwon : We're Actually Not Too Sure - What's Our Name?

OK, I'm done.

I always got a kick outta Funglish in Sinchon.

And the wife used to work for Crazy English, until she learned what a corrupt empire it was. Crazy man, just crazy.

I liked Bob's Language School near Hoegi Station in Seoul.
I went in once and asked to talk to Bob, but he was at lunch.

The first school I worked at was "Kwaks". I was, and we all were, as far as serious teaching went.
I now work at "Yale".
Its been from one extreme to the other.
