Description

In this week’s episode we get into the weeds and discuss how NOT to run an English academy in Korea, following a very bad recent experience.

We chat about closing the door on Korea for good, Korea losing its appeal due to inflation and saving potential, and the idea that everyday things like fruit are now a bit of a luxury.

We also get into signing a contract before seeing the apartment (don’t EVER do that), hagwon bosses expecting you to live in an unfurnished shoebox and calling out greed/penny-pinching within the teaching industry.

Something for everyone, as per.
