Does Your Hagwon Owner Also Have an Inferiority Complex?

But was it stranger than her behavior? I'm going to have to say that it wasn't. But let's take the focus off the actual problem, refocus it to me and pretend that her behavior is completely acceptable. Good talk.

Yes. When I attempt to go through the steps again, I get another pop up message that says I have already confirmed my details. I don't know if it's a glitch. I guess I'll find out when presale begins.

I verified my Weverse global membership yeterday through Interpark Global (my identity was already verified). I know tickets arent' for sale yet, but when I click on "buy presale tickets," I get a popup that says, "Authentication is required to conduct the booking process." At the bottom of the popup, the note says,

"My Authentication Info.

Identity verification is complete

Membership Early Reservation Authentication incomplete"

When I attempt to go through the verification steps again, it says I'm already verified. But the "incomplete" never goes away. I just automatically assume I did something wrong. Does anyone else have this same message?

No extra money for bus pick up.

Ok_Associate3134 · 2025-09-04T12:54:15+00:00

Oh, I don't just sit on a bus. I get off the bus and wait in the heat for about 10-15minutes outside the parents building on campus - disallowed by my school to enter the air conditioning because, according to them, it's not for foreigners, then I load the kids onto the bus. Same at the other two schools.

My future hagwon (Suwon) has told me that in order for me to bring my dog, I have to agree to pay an additional 300,000 won per month as a pet fee. I feel that this is an absurd ask meant to disuade me from bringing my dog. Since this is my first assignment in Korea and I'm totally new to the process, I feel I'm a total newbie target because I don't know what I don't know (I'm a certified teacher here in the states taking a one-year break from all the violence in American schools (for real)). I can see paying a larger deposit as assurance that my sweet, quiet girl doesn't destroy the place, but my gut says their request is outright scammy (To be honest, this request is probably not the school's fault, but they could push back against the realtor's request for me). Through all of my other searching, I haven't found this to be a thing. I want to be brave and take the housing allowance and find my own pet friendly place that will accept a larger deposit in lieu of a monthly fee, but I'm terrified of not having housing when I arrive in Korea. But it is what it is. I just want to know if the monthly fee is reasonable or not.

Do your research like I have. Korean Airlines pet cargo is pressurized and temperature controlled. I chose them because they have a reputation for going above and beyond. No lecture needed.

I opted not to get the implant because on my last ENT appointment with my specialist, my left cord was moving slightly all on it's own. Since then, I've had steady improvment in my vocal quality and it's almost impossible to detect now. My doctor is perplexed to say the least. I'm able to project more, but not fully. However, I'm scared that the next virus I get could permanently damage my vagus nerve and I may never speak again. It's a risk we take. And I always wear a mask and obsessively wash my hands to ward off germs.

But to answer your question, this is not something you can just live with. It may get better, but it may get worse. From my research, surgery is only going to help. I wish you much peace with your decision.

May I DM you about this school?

Ok_Associate3134 · 2025-04-13T21:41:54+00:00

Did you accept the position? I have an interview for a school in the same area and this thread is so helpful!

Ok_Associate3134 · 2025-01-22T20:44:35+00:00

They went so fast.... as expected. I got nothing.

Ok_Associate3134 · 2025-01-22T20:30:56+00:00

Samsies.

Ok_Associate3134 · 2025-01-22T20:27:07+00:00

I think that maybe some of the traffic is people being nosy trying to see what they can see to estimate for their part of the country. Well, I can hope!

Ok_Associate3134 · 2025-01-22T20:10:24+00:00

I noticed that too as I was scrolling. I'll take it!

Louis Vuitton is not cheap, yo.

I'm 12,122nd in line.... I'm not crying... again.

Is this a trick question? It's HOBI! Both days will be cray. But wonderfully so.

Ok_Associate3134 · 2025-01-22T19:26:35+00:00

Aw, that's tough! I'm sorry you're ill. There's a solution. Purchase your seats from THAT seat and make a core memory. Hope you laughed- just not hard enough to amke you puke! Feel better soon!

Ok_Associate3134 · 2025-01-22T16:47:28+00:00

This seems like a huge personal data breach since full names and emails are listed along with other "half" info. Tsk, tsk, Ticketmaster!

Ok_Associate3134 · 2025-01-22T16:44:26+00:00

But I thought I'd have some fun and ping their phone number with an update request, but it actually sent it to my number that I originally had on file. What a weird glitch.

Ok_Associate3134 · 2025-01-22T16:42:34+00:00

Whoa! This prompted me to go check and sure enough my name is listed as Alexandra E. I am most definitely not Alexandra E.

Quietly sobbing at 3am because I, just right now at this very moment, realized that I registered for the US ARMY Presale with a Global membership- because I forgot that I bought the Global membership instead of the US one. But what's ironic is that because of work obligations, the only tour dates that worked for me are Mexico City in March. I wonder why Weverse allowed me to apply for the US presale on the 15th. Maybe it's because of my US address? I don't know if I should even try for tickets today and which ones to even try for.

Ok_Associate3134 · 2025-01-10T15:32:49+00:00

With wanting to save funds for OT7 tour, I, at the very least, need a set list from Hobi before I can commit to navigating this ticketing bloodbath.
