Looking for info anybody know about this area. Looking at a job, it is so hard to do something sight unseen. Any help would be appreciated.

Do you know what part of Yongin? It's a really big city and there is a huge difference depending on what part of the city that you live in. Some areas are brand new and very nice with good transportation to Seoul as well as a large population of foreigners. If the position is in the northern part of the city (Suji, Dongbaek, Guseong, Jukjeon, Shingal) it shouldn't be too bad. It'll be close enough to Seoul for weekend trips as well as being a good place to live.

Guseong is a nice place to live. It's a quiet neighborhood with everything that you need nearby and the air quality is much better than Seoul. A subway stop direct to Seoul should be opening soon as well.

Shingal would be terrible. Those other areas would be alright.
