Another cab-driving rapist.

A seachange? A school has been forced to repay “donations” it panhandled last year. Well, the first W150M, anyway.

Not yet (with the seachange). More graft in the public school system.

South Korean suicide rate highest in OECD again.

Koreans don’t know about caller ID? 119 is fining April Fool’s pranksters.

President of Seoul National University of Education calls native speaker English teachers unqualified, drug-takers.

Time To Go After the F-4 Guys?

Another journalistic classic

TIME WASTERS

 

Not really expat-only, but Chris in SK has his April events calendar posted, as does The Yeogiyo, if you want to get out of your one-room and appreciate the all-too-brief spring (one of four distinct seasons!)
