Korean Job Discussion Forums

I have a question about entering Korea on a one-way ticket without a work visa or a job offer. I've seen on previous posts that you're supposed to have ticket out of Korea afterward, and that they only sometimes enforce that at the airlines. But I'm planning to come on a ferry from China (maybe Tianjin) next week, to later look for a job in Seoul. Has anyone ever done this? Do you know if they usually enforce the rule at the ferries?
And if so, any ideas about where I could get a ticket on the internet that I can cancel and get reinbursed for later? I thought they were usually non-refundable.

Ferries don't care. it's really only arriving by air.
At a pinch buy a return ticket on a ferry coming back and then cancel it when you arrive in Korea..maybe you lose 15 or 20 bucks cancellation fee, big deal though, huh?
