Living in Korea — a plain guide

Tell us

If a result looks wrong, if your case is not covered, or if the English is hard to follow, tell us. We check and fix.

These reports help most:

  • The figure differs from your actual payslip or official notice
  • The article we cite has been amended and we have not caught up
  • Practice differs from the text, and you know the basis for it
  • A topic you need is missing

A citation gets it fixed fastest — we work only from the source ourselves.

English, Korean or Vietnamese are all fine.

If you are reporting a calculation error, include the numbers you entered and the result you believe is correct. That makes it much quicker to check.

What we can't do

We do not negotiate with your employer or a government office for you, and we do not advise on individual cases.
