I have a question for you guys concerning age. I am a fifty year old male that has a MBA and a TESOL certificate from The University of Georgia. I have been a corporate trainer for years but have never taught children. I am retired and want to teach as a means to see places. Is my age an issue in Korea?

Yes, it will be for most jobs here. They prefer fresh kids outta college and 20's white female over anything else.

With that said, you can try applying for univ. jobs since you are experienced in teaching adult. China may be a better option for you though.
