If firearms were allowed, you'd hear it a lot on evening news of how people would go back to their homes during an heated argument, pull it out and shoot.

On the joke of being communist, UK conservative party would be considered left wing in Korea :v:. My parents consider me left wing just because I believe in noblesse oblige.

Typical Korean conservative response. Is that the best you can come up with?

Why do home owners who use way less electricity have to pay multiple the amount of money compared to industries that use megawatts' worth of electricity in literally blink of an eye? Is it really justifiable because 'they provide jobs'? Do you even realize that they pay minimal amount to profit lot more for themselves?

Hey now, if they hired more people, Korean sla-Employees wouldn't have to work longer hours than Victorian child laborers. Can't have that.

I'm currently working in Busan at a Hagwon. My contract is up at the beginning of December and I want to work in Seoul next year. When should I start looking for a position? Also, would it be better to look for a position that starts in January? Working with kids is fine, I'd just like to be in a good location in Seoul.

If you're a girl, you can take my job at a private kindy/hagwon on the line 6 subway.
I was a rush hire so that's the only reason they took a man. I doubt they will hire anyone but women either.
I tried to get Pat a job here last year but they took someone with no experience, but she is a redhead!

You're still biologically same gender though.

If you're like me and have old korean citizen number system (male starts with 1, female with 2, after the birthday) people will be asking 'why do you have male code but have female body?'

So that makes me wonder.

You can like get all that changed in America right? So your paperwork would say you're whatever you identify as and as far as immigration would know you're whatever.

But then if you get found out in Korea would immigration change it since they dont recognize (im assuming) sex changes in Korea? Would they ignore it? Would they kick you out for falsifying your documents?

I mean, hypothetical bizarre scenario where immigration or something somehow magically finds out in an undeniable way.

And is that weird guy still trying to learn Korean and come over here?

And yeah Aesis this is a safe zone don't go pushing your gender assumptions on us.

Aesis

I'm not trying to push gender assumption. I'm sorry if I offended anyone. I didn't mean any offense at all, but was merely trying to give examples. I do admit I was being lazy with typing because I was on my phone, and didn't imply things clearly.

As for immigration office, who knows?

If you're Korean or have Korean citizen number it's easy to tell what gender you were born with, since the citizen number never changes unless there's a court order. The start number of last 7 digits defines your gender, 1 and 3 being male and 2 and 4 being female. 5 and 7 are for foreign male and 6 and 8 are for foreign female. (Digits starting with 3, 4, 7, 8 were made later.)

Majority of Koreans don't like (tolerate would be more correct) LGBT, so the Koreans who underwent transgender surgery had it hard, because they were permanently labelled the gender they were born with (unless they file for change, which is now accepted.). It isn't a western society where you can be open about it and be accepted for who you are, but instead will have to hide it because of who you were. People in Korea shout for equal rights and yet shun away from LGBT.

Since I study in UK and go back home (Korea) during holidays it's a totally different experience in every way. In one society things are openly accepted, while in the other it's not tolerated at all.


edit: Adding to the citizen number, it's only recently (March 2013) that you can file for change without undergoing surgery. But Korea still has long way to go.

Yeah I'm just loving with you man, we all know what you meant.

There are transgendered bars all over here though, I just wonder whose going to them. I've never met a Korean transgendered person. There's a guy I see walking around my hagwon sometimes in a skirt and one of those Australian stereotype hats, but I think he's just strange not transgendered.

And every hagwon has that one girl who looks like a boy, has a boy haircut, talks like a boy and always asks "do you think I'm a boy or a girl?" so that's something I guess.

To be fair, their parents could be fuced up and be wanting a child of the opposite sex and then force their child into that role.

Attitudes can change really fast, so don't assume Korea will never change. Hell, in the late 80's only 10% of Americans supported same-sex marriage. It's up to 60% now.

I was wondering if anybody in the Seoul area (or outside, guess it doesn't matter) would be interested in a kitten. Found it in front of my house. It's by my guess about 6-8 weeks old, but I honestly have no clue. I'll post a picture later, but it's white and orangey. It's not a newborn. Don't have a smart phone any more so no Kakao chat, but give me a text message at 010-5131-7314 if you know anyone or you yourself are interested.
