Will Korea be "oversaturated" with foreign teachers (qualified or not) in the next 10 years?
Yes.

No, Korea will always have a need for more foreign teachers.

Hard to say -- how can one tell when it's "oversaturated"?

And that's just for Seoul.

Anyone have a figure/estimate for the number of Western foreigners/teachers in Seoul? And for SK total? It's easy to find the number of American GIs, but I was just wondering how many foreign TEACHERS/expats there are in Seoul and Korea at large. I couldn't find this on the forums.

Thanks everyone!

and only like 10% or less of those are actually teachers. Someone quoted something awhile ago that showed there were only 30,000 ESL teachers in Korea.

Those numbers are for all foreigners, if you read it, most are chinese nationals, it has nothing to do with the amount of teachers in korea.
