The mandatory support means you will be teaching in a hakwon. Usually Foreign Language Centers are hakwons and many universities for the extra tutition are now putting hakwons on their campus. Yeah you won't be getting a lot of vacation it would seem

Given the size of the advertised salary, I can understand why you went to the lengths you did to prepare for this application process...but a large volume of disorganization coming from the employer, early on, is a red flag for me.

w500,000 plus all that extra time and effort with the teaching demo and probably some related stress. I would double that number.

Give me a night out in a Kangnam room salon and I'll get a Seoul uni contract for you to sign the following morning ... make that afternoon.

The fact that you are still waiting to hear from this uni in the last week of February leads me to believe that you have no other options. Did you put all your eggs in this one basket, or have all your other applications already been turned down? A lot of unis let you know by New Year's. Anyone who even says they will wait until Feb. 17 is not worth waiting for, because if you wait that long, what if they say no? By then it's too late to get another job, and your other offers would almost certainly have expired by then!

Please give us the name of this college so I can avoid these dirtbags like the plague.
