Just wondering your opinion...who is at fault and should I complain and insist on higher pay?

I got a visa through a recruiting agency that own a school. At the time I was doing business work at a company for them at 45,000 won. After I got a visa I started working at a second company for them and it took them almost 4 weeks to tell them how much money I'd make there. They told me almost half a dozen times that the salary would be comparable to the first job. Then all of a sudden, they come at me with 30,000/hr...for a business JOB! We settled on 35,000 when I threatened to quit and even though this is low, I didn't mind it because one hour is teaching and the other hour is editing in the office, but for the most part, it's surfing the net. I do however have to prepare for 2 different classes that rotate every other day. Then, all of a sudden the company wants to fill in the space of the second hour with another class, an advanced class that meets 3 times a week. So for one company, I have to prepare material for 3 separate business classes. This takes forever, and sometimes I even have to skip lunch. I asked the recruitors for a boost in pay for them springing a 3 class at me and they refused. The hours I have to spend to prepare and teach material for 3 different business classes for one company is way to much to be paid in Kindergarten wages (35,000). What do you think I should do? Do I have a right to complain? I consider 35,000 an hour to be extremely low to teach business anyway...especially since they pay me 45,000 elsewhere, and that's the norm...am I getting shafted?
