So after not hearing from my employer on the pension issue I decided to give my local pension office a call. The person I spoke to said my employer should be insuring me, but isn't.

I remember quite a few posts saying the pension office was really aggressive in collecting payments, but the guy I got just said "You should get a different job or find a lawyer and sue him."

Should I try again?

You should definitely try again. Also try calling 1355 and the Seoul Foreigner Help Center at 02-731-6800. Explain the situation and maybe they can get better results.

Yes, individual offices are filled with "chickens". You have a better chance of finding a "hawk" if you deal with the head office in Seoul.

Yeah, I found out a couple of weeks ago, when I went to apply for my pension refund, that they had no record of my current employers at all. It's been deducted from my salary all along, so I had the girl call my boss, and when she got off the phone she just said that my boss had said she'd sort it out with me personally.

Don't fall for that BS. It's the job of the Pension Office to get this straightened out.
