The KMA is NOT reporting anything recent in Korea as far as earthquakes go.

Haha, I wish. Would be more fun than teaching at that time Laughing

However, on the 2 seperate occasions, my entire class of 10 then 12 felt them as well. Smile Definately the strongest I have felt so far in Korea.

Not likely. Nobody here felt the 8.9 quake in March which was in the same area.

Well I am glad that my students and other teachers felt it because, if not, I would be asking myself if I was going crazy. But, I was near COEX and something was shaking the whole building on multiple occasions from 3-4 today, haha.

Perhaps your building is about to collapse? Wouldn't be the first in Korea. And this theory explains pretty much everything. Have a look for suspicious cracks that weren't there last week.

Earthquakes generally don't shake buildings "on occasion." Something is wrong with your building.
