"But the question is whether the non-Korean is capable of withstanding knee-jerk public sentiment if the prediction goes wide of mark."

Of course not! Only Korean's have skin thick enough to withstand public lashings which may include throwing of kimchi and soju bottles! Laughing

I forecast a cold front when the prospective employee consults the exchange rate. If they're "going all out" (in their own minds of course), why don't they just offer a salary denominated in the meteorologist's home country?

I guess this is in response to people dying in flashfloods and been given little warning. Is this accurate?

I can see the headlines now:

"Foreign meterologist sues for unpaid wages, harassment and misrepresentation of contract."
