I am officially finished my 1 year contract which also means that my E-2 visa is up. I am travelling to Hong Kong and then coming back to Korea next week. My alien registration card's expiry date is June 30, 2010.
Will I have any problems re-entering Korea?
I should be on a travel visa now, right?
or do I have to apply for a re-entry permit again just to be on the safe side?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

You are correct. I've done this before twice and it wasn't a problem. You'll re-enter as a tourist. They'll void your E-2 on the way out with a marker/stamp and take your alien card.

To avoid any problems returning to Korea you should turn in your ARC on the way through passport control (canceling your E2) and you will be granted a 90-day B1 tourist stamp (6 month B2 stamp if you are Canadian) on entry when you return.
