  I don't plan on moving to Korea, but this was interesting and informative. Thanks to all the individuals who shared their personal experiences and Asian Boss for posting this up.

  Wow! This is such an informative and relevant video to reality! Good questions and revealing answers! The situation sounds relatively similar to my country as well. Thank you for sharing!

  I lived in Korea for 2 years and earned enough to feel comfortable with my modest lifestyle. Many people I met chose to stay in Korea mostly for the experience. If you are ambitious and want to earn big bucks and have a better career path while exploring Asia, you wouldn't go to Korea, Japan, or even China, you would go to Singapore.

  Most foreigners here are teachers and don't make much over here compared to the cost of living. The wages for teachers hasn't gone up in the past ten years, but the costs of groceries and most other expenses have gone up significantly. The won to usd has also gone down. So, it will be hard to send money home nowadays (2024).

  I have been studying PhD in Korea for the last two years and working as a research assistant in a lab. My salary is 1.5M won, but after tax and health insurance deductions, I only have 1.2M won. The minimum rent here in Incheon for a single person is 650k won with an initial deposit of 5M. Fruits and vegetables are too expensive.

  It's quite interesting to watch this video after seeing that job posting from Asian Boss, looking for a video editor or something similar, with extensive experience, fluent in English and based in Seoul, for a minimal salary...
