I have a normal Korean Thermostat in my officetel. Anyways when I try to turn on my heating or hot water a red light begins to flash under a spot that says hwak in (translated from Korean characters) and I never get any hot water.
I've got no idea why it's doing this.
Thanks.

Best thing I can think of, find the actual boiler itself. It's possible it's been turned off.

Means your boiler cant turn on.

Best bet is to check under the boiler for a valve or tap that will bleed some water out of the system (give it like 30 seconds) then look for something that looks like a reset button. Chances are you'll be good to go.

Normally when that happens it means you don't have enough water in the boiler for it to function. There should be a knob that you can turn on to fill it with water. It should work.

Not sure of the type of boiler you have, but when this happened in my former apartment, it meant the tank was out of fuel oil (kerosene)

When it happened to me, I needed to have it serviced. Then, it happened again. The repairman came and fixed it again. It has worked like a charm ever since.
