As a Korean, I'd like to say sorry for your experience here. It must've been very tough for you to work for Korean Hakwons. I think even if you worked in a different field In South Korea, it wouldn't have been much different. Anyhow, Wherever you go, I hope you'll always be happy.
Yeah my korean cultures are quite purpose oriented culture, especially the kinda Hagwon academy is it.
This may be competitively organization first culture.
I'd like to recommend you to contact beauty commercial companies that are trying to expand Anerican market these days, and ask cooperation works in between both countries. Your Korean living culture experience would be pretty helpful eachother. :D
I know about the work environment in SK but it was actually nice to hear it from you as a foreigner living in SK. I would love to go to SK for the country and food and culture aspect but actually working there always made me second guess and you just basically confirmed it for me. Thanks for sharing your story with us 😊
Yeah just come to visit! Lol, the toxic work environment is not worth it! 😅
I am chinese but grewup in Canada. I know a lot westerner miss understood asian work culture and society in general. Every time a hear a westerner friends say they admire so much Japanese or Korean work ethic and they want to do internships there… especially girls: i shake my head! 😅 Gender equity, be open minded and diversity acception are westerns concepts. When come to work place , the respect are only in one way. I can definitely understand it was a culture choc.
Thank you for your comment and understanding! I can’t imagine working in South Korea for so long. I’m back in the USA and there’s more respect in the work place!
What about in China?
As a korean I agree that the Work condition in south korea is Bad. But I hope you to come back someday and marry a korean guy.
I don’t think that’ll happen LOL! I’ll probably just visit and eat the food there!
I think he asked you out 😂
😢😢😢
Do you think if you had a better job and maybe learn the language fluently would have made you stay longer? Or was the homesickness too much? And would you say that you got bored with living there?
Honestly, I don't believe so because the overall work culture there is toxic. I did make an effort to learn the language and managed to read and write it, getting by with the Korean I learned. In the past, I might have thought it could have made a difference, but now that I'm back in the US, I doubt it would have.
한국에서 받은 상처가 있다면 한국사람으로써 제가 미안하다고 대신 사과를 할께요.
저희는 아직 외국인을 우리문화에 완전히 받아들일 준비가 안돼있고, 사실 저역시 외국인은 외국인 한국사람은 한국사람 이란 마음을 갖고 있습니다.
이제 막 서로 교류하는 단계이고, 유교사상이 곳곳에 남아있어 외국인이 적응하기엔 쉽지않은곳 같습니다. 먼저 다가가진 않고, 먼저 다가와 줬으면 하는게 한국사람 특징이라
5-10년후 우리사회가 더 발전이 되길 바라며.....그래도 여유가 된다면 꼭 다시 놀러와 주세요~
There are reasons why SK has the lowest birth rate and one of the highest suicide rates even under teacher! The president now lifted up the working hours even knowing that women don’t have enough power and time to have a child under this circumstances (and more reasons), the school system looks more than a pre working place and so on…you tried it, congrats for that, these experiences will help you in the future-positive or negative-so be proud of you and maybe you can make sometimes your vacation in SK!
It's a good story. Korea has lost a beautiful woman. Hagwon job is so exhausting that even Koreans can't endure it for long.
Thank you!
You really should not play music while talking. Cannot hear your voice over the music.
Thanks for letting me know.
I had no issues hearing her speak. Sounded fine to me
I found it really interesting to hear perspectives from people from other country, about life in Korea, particularly Busan!
Thank you for being a great teacher for kids, even in a challenging work environment.🥹
Wishing you even more happiness in the new chapter in the United States!
Thank you! 😊
