Greetings, all! I'm about to obtain an F-2 visa and I want to get out of the hagwon loop. I wonder if anyone has any contacts - with agents, studios, textbook publishers, anything - that they might be willing to share with me. Thanks in advance!

They might. I don't think it's in our nature to advertise the job(s) that we are competing for, but you never know.

I know at voice/acting in media business is brutally competitive as it does not share the same shortage as English teaching business. It'd be as hard as trying to win contracts and connections in Hollywood. You'd need to have decent Korean fluency and you'd need to start with something small until you get a lucky break... not to discourage you here, but there you have it.

Good luck.

Don't know if it'll help, but this came up in a quick Google search:

most people here are very unwilling to help you with voice acting contacts because the jobs you get will take away from their opportunities in a very direct way.
