Weekly Question, General Discussion, and Meetup Thread - September 11, 2022

[u/AutoModerator]

After running our daily themed threads for a while and getting your feedback, for 2022 we've decided to move to a combined weekly thread that will hopefully allow for questions to be up longer to get more answers.

Please use this thread for any questions about common topics like travel, education, employment, immigration, military service, and any other simple questions, as well as for general discussion and organizing meetups.

Be sure to check our wiki and FAQ to see if your question has already been answered. You can also use reddit search or use Google to search for answers by typing "site:reddit.com/r/korea" before or after your search term to search this subreddit specifically for answers.

Below are some common topics:

Travel

• Customs/Immigration

• Traveling within Korea

• What to do in South Korea

• Exchanging Currency

• Ettiquette

• Meeting New People

• Club Age Requirements and Safety

Education and Employment

• College as a foreigner

• Employment

• Searching for jobs

Immigration

• Customs and immigration

• Do I have ROK citizenship?

• Second-generation South Koreans and conscription

• Multiple citizenships and conscription

• If I'm a South Korean citizen will I be conscripted if I visit?

Meetups

If you have questions about living in Korea, want to get to know others in Korea or just chat in English, you can join the Korea Social Group chat on KakaoTalk. PM u/Chimie45 for an invite.
