    There are no laws in Korea that protect or support gay people, but there are also no laws that arrest someone for being gay. It's also rare to see people showing affection in public, but even if they do, while it's not 100% guaranteed, it's highly unlikely that anyone would attack them.

    Hi Alex! Honestly thank you so much for this video. I'm starting to apply to teach in korea and I've been going back and forth between hagwon and EPIK. This vid really helped a lot 💕 Currently I am an English teacher online, the students are all adult and mostly have a good level and its small groups, however and I feel like the only thing I'm missing and really really want is to be able to speak to the students personally and really get to know them and track their progress. The way the company I work for set things up, I teach brand new students every lesson, everyday. So theres like no way of developing any type of relationship with the students. Watching this really just made things really clear about what to expect since I've been leaning more towards Hagwons anyway. Also can you please share more about the green and black lists for Hagwons? Whats the most reliable source? 💕
