    Funny how some people complain about no jobs in Korea. If you can't even speak the Korean language or have a specific degree how do you expect to find a decent job? That goes for any country. At least for native English speakers you can teach English to children. Don't think Korea will adept to you you have to adept to Korean society . Be active and network.

    Spot on. Most of the jobs in the USA have native level fluency in either spanish or english as a requirement to even be considered for an interview. It's hilarious that people expect to go to another country, not speak the native language, and be able to function in that place as a citizen.

    ​@@peterk6431 Actually, almost all good looking foreigners just end up with just middle-class guys. Even if you are pretty, you still have no high-value networks in Korean society to have access to rich guys and rich guys who have loads of pretty Korean girls chasing them, have no need to approach any foreigners.

    As a Korean who worked with a multitude of foreigners, trust me learn the language. I see foreigners who lived in Korea for over 7 years and barely say a few words. They usually don't get raises because they have the same position. For those who become fluent, they really get promoted fast. 1. I know its fun a few years with a stable job and doing the same thing but keep developing yourself. Especially in education, the difference between a bachelors and masters is significant. More than what you expect. Ph.D? You will be scouted like crazy. 2. Know the language? Employers, neighbors etc will absolutely love you. 3.Don't just stick with other foreigners, get out and meet the locals, when things happen like accidents etc They will vouch for you. (If you just stay within your own group, if things happen you're just labeled as a typical foreigner who causes trouble, because people won't know you they think you don't care about society) 4. Don't go to clubs.(Don't believe you will meet 'good people; there)... even people in Korea will judge other Koreans that go to clubs 'often' we call them Jukdoli/juksooni (No respectable member of society will take you seriously). 5. Think outside of Seoul. Other parts of Korea there maybe more opportunities and less racism. (Don't get me wrong people will stare, but not due to disgust but just pure curiosity, they probably never seen someone that's not Korean. if you talk to them in Korean, they will open up so much...maybe too much lol) Also you can probably save money while enjoy things as housing costs are much much more affordable outside of Seoul)

    They can learn the language , but ultimately there will always be a glass ceiling as a foreigner, and even if they marry a Korean and naturalize, as someone who is not ethnically Korean. Ultimately, if career is the top priority, they are better off pursuing it in their own countries, where they have a higher ceiling and just treat Korea as a fun vacation.

    Here's the passage corrected for natural English with some additional pointers: Having worked with many foreigners in Korea, let me tell you: learning the language is key. Here's why: I've seen foreigners who've lived here for over 7 years yet struggle to speak more than a few basic phrases. This often limits their career growth - they stay in the same position without promotions. On the other hand, those who become fluent tend to see much faster career advancement. Sure, it can be comfortable to stay in a stable job for a while. But there's always room for self-development! In Korea especially, education plays a big role. The difference a Master's degree can make compared to a Bachelor's is significant, even more than you might expect. And a Ph.D.? Recruiters will be chasing after you. Learning the language goes beyond just work. Employers and neighbors will appreciate the effort, and it will open doors socially. Here are some additional tips: Branch out and connect with Koreans. Don't just stick to your expat circle. Locals can be a great support system, especially if you encounter any issues. Building relationships can dispel stereotypes some might have about foreigners who "cause trouble." Skip the clubs. It's a common misconception that you'll find good connections there. Even Koreans who frequent clubs often face a negative stigma (Jukdoli/juksooni). A good reputation is important for professional and personal success. Consider living outside Seoul. There may be more opportunities and less outward prejudice in other parts of Korea. While people might stare out of curiosity (especially if they haven't met many foreigners), a simple greeting in Korean can break the ice. Housing costs are also significantly lower outside the capital, allowing you to save money and enjoy a different pace of life. Remember, a little effort goes a long way! Pointers: Removed unnecessary emphasis on the speaker being Korean. Used a more natural tone and sentence structure. Replaced "multitude" with "many" for better flow. Clarified the concept of Jukdoli/juksooni. Added a concluding sentence for impact. 다음은 자연스러운 영어로 수정된 글과 몇 가지 추가적인 지침입니다: 더 자연스러운 톤과 문장 구조를 사용했습니다. "multitude"를 "many"로 바꿔서 더 자연스러운 흐름을 만들었습니다. Jukdoli/juksooni의 개념을 명확히 설명했습니다. Negative stigma : 사회적으로 부정적인 태도나 생각을 의미하는 사람이나 사람들의 집단에 대한 부정적인 태도입니다. 한국에서 많은 외국인들과 함께 일해본 경험으로 말씀드립니다. 언어 학습은 꼭 필요하다는 것을 알려드리겠습니다. 그 이유는 다음과 같습니다. 7년 이상 여기에서 생활한 외국인들 중에는 몇 가지 기본적인 문구를 넘어서 말하기 어려워하는 사람들을 많이 보았습니다. 이는 종종 그들의 직장 승진을 제한합니다. 반면에 유창하게 구사하는 사람들은 직업적으로 훨씬 빠른 성장을 경험하는 경향이 있습니다. 안정된 직장에 잠시 머물기는 편안할 수 있습니다. 하지만 자기 계발을 위한 여유 공간은 항상 있습니다! 특히 한국에서는 교육이 큰 역할을 합니다. 학사 학위와 석사 학위의 차이는 기대 이상으로 큽니다. 박사 학위를 취득하면 인재영입 담당자들이 여러분을 찾아갈 것입니다. 언어 학습은 직장에만 국한되지 않습니다. 고용주와 이웃들은 여러분의 노력을 칭찬하고, 사회적으로도 문을 열어줄 것입니다. 추가적인 팁을 알려드리겠습니다: 한국인들과 교류하고 관계를 형성하세요. 외국인 사회에만 머무르지 말고 현지인들과 연결되는 것이 좋습니다. 특히 문제가 발생할 경우 현지인들은 큰 지원 체계가 될 수 있습니다. 관계 구축은 외국인들에 대한 "문제를 일으키는 사람"에 대한 편견을 없애는 데 도움이 됩니다. 클럽에 가지 않는 것이 좋습니다. 거기에서 좋은 인맥을 만날 수 있다는 것은 흔한 오해입니다. 실제로 클럽을 자주 가는 한국인들도 부정적인 인식을 받을 수 있습니다 (죽돌이/죽순이). 좋은 평판은 직업적인 성공과 개인적인 성공에 중요합니다. 서울 외부에서 생활을 고려해보세요. 다른 지역에서는 더 많은 기회와 편견이 적을 수 있습니다. 사람들이 호기심으로 바라보는 경우도 있을 수 있지만 (특히 외국인을 많이 본 적이 없는 경우), 한국어로 간단한 인사를 건네는 것으로 어색한 분위기를 벗어날 수 있습니다. (Break the ice 얼음을 깰 수 있다는 뜻 아님). 수도권 외부에서는 주거 비용이 훨씬 낮아지므로 돈을 절약하고 지루하지 않은 삶의 변화를 즐길 수 있습니다.(pace of life) 기억하세요, 작은 노력이 큰 영향을 미칩니다!

    I went on a language course in the Philippines, studied as an exchange student in the United States, lived and worked in Japan, and traveled to European countries and Southeast Asian countries every vacation. Yes, I have had many unfair and difficult experiences abroad. Sometimes I hated the country and its people and felt bored. I even assaulted a man who was arguing with me on the street at night in Florence, Italy because I couldn't control my anger. However, I realized later that hatred and anger towards someone were hurting myself. In the end, only those who can control themselves and overcome difficulties in any environment are the winners. Sometimes people with this kind of patience are considered 'easy', but you should not be swayed by other people's thoughts. You just have to look at your goals. My experiences abroad still remain as precious memories. there is no experience in this world that is worthless.

    I've lived in Korea and Japan for 2 years and yes there are racist in Korea and Japan just like there are racists everywhere else in the world. I'm from the South in the US so I grew up around many racists including some of my relatives. I know what real racism looks like. The difference is in Korea, there aren't any violent organized racists groups (i.e., KKK, Neo-Nazis, etc..) physically trying to harm people like there are in the US, Japan and Europe. Sending your child to school alone without worrying about anything or being able to enjoy a walk without worrying about robbers or thieves even if you walk alone at 2 a.m. is a godsend. I will stay here as long as I can.

    It’s really amazed how Korea has evolved since I lived there (1995-2003). Back then u fell into one of three categories: ESL teacher, American soldier or “entertainment visa-Russian and Ukrainian girls”. I have been going back to Seoul every couple of years on short one week holidays over thr years. I ran into people from all over the world doing all kinds of jobs- was amazed they even had a visa to look for work. I remember people getting fired or quit their hagwon jobs and doing a visa run to Japan and if the couldn’t not find job every 90 days they had a visa run to Japan. What I do miss about Korea was their medical care. I would catch something or have a problem and would just go to the local clinic near my house in hongdae and it was cheap for meds or whatever medication I needed could get in Jongro over the counter whereas in USA they want me to visit a doctor and pay copay with my insurance but if u don’t have insurance your doomed. Unfortunately I see alot of people r going to Korea cause of the k pop influence.

    Honestly, I think that most of these people are interested in South Korea, because it is the focused (most talked about) country at the moment. Most of them are not going to admit that they were not thinking about Seoul, South Korea until a good four or so years ago, if that. However, they are going to try to make you believe that this place was always on their radar to visit...until the next country or city that becomes "the popular destination". Well, I hope that all is enjoying the city.

    Most of what you said is common sense. Forty years ago, most people had never heard of Korea. Popularity attracts people. Korea is very popular now, and as such, people want to visit and experience the country and its culture. But once you experience it, as I have multiple times, you may not want to return to your own country. That's been my experience.

Also, many Western women haven't been to any Asian countries, so they tend to stereotype Korean men the same way they stereotype most Asian men. And they don't like men who are prettier than they are 😂.

    You are talking like some American that goes with much money to enjoy the cheaper prices of South America, while SouthAmericans have very little income to even enjoy what you call "cheap". But at the same time it is true that people who say the inequality issues and so on are better in Korea or other countries, are a bit out of reality. I mean, they live as foreigners who don't know what's going on with the society of those countries, so they feel some "fresh air" not because there are not issues in those countries, but because they ignore them.

    All people I know who went to live to Korea was because of K-dramas, K-pop or "medical" aesthetics. That's it. The same happened with Japan before, most westerners who went (and go) there was because of Anime, manga, the toy-ish thing or silly cute girls. I don't know that much about Korea (I'm much more into Japanese culture), but honestly I find it terribly heartbreaking to see the massive amount of people who go to these Asian countries due to such "reasons", while massively ignoring the actual and immense culture of those countries. And those two countries are destroying themselves too because of selling those shallow things and creating that image of themselves, ripping apart their actual massive culture.

You can experience good or bad while traveling abroad, and having a bad experience can also help you in your life.
