I have been (almost) offered a job in an adult hogwan in Geumjeong (BCM chain). Does anyone have any info on this school? I've done my research and the chain seems ok (or rather not a lot worse than others) but I know it depends on the individual school.

Also, is Geumjeong a good place to live? Any comments on any aspect of this place would be appreciated!

never lived there.... was stranded there temporarily once waiting for a girl. It seems, at least around the station, pretty raunch.

Yea, it is surrounded by nice towns like Sanbon/Beomgye but Geumjung itself is pretty raunch. Good choice of words ekim.

location wise it ain't bad. Surrounded by Sanbon, Beomgye, Anyang which are all good places. Also, Geumjeong isn't far from Seoul...however, I wouldn't live in geumjeong. Look for a job in Sanbon of Beomgye instead because the quality of life within 10 minutes is substantially different.
