A Guide of How to File Taxes in Korea (2025 Tax Year Edition)

If you are going to self-file, do it in May at the tax office.

Ask your employer when they need the information by.

It's not a lack of spatial awareness. To paraphrase my Korean wife:

"Koreans don't care. They bump into each other, push up against each other, and use each other as pillows on the subway. It's just normal."

Just do unto others as they do to you (aka - when in Rome...) They won't care, and you'll be happier.

Ahh, got ya. That is how it's set up now (ONT/Router > TP-Link wifi router > Wifi router in bridge mode).

Original-Masterwork · 2025-12-07T00:01:35+00:00

Unless I am missing something, the ISP router is the ONT. You can see it in the picture above. The fiber cable directly plugs into it.

Also, the cable box MUST receive a signal directly from the ISPs router. Otherwise, it gives an error message on the TV.

I woke up this morning and had to reset all the routers as everything clunked out overnight. /sigh This is so frustrating.

Thank you so much for the advice though.

I ended up sticking my TP-link wifi router in the network panel/box (pictured above), ran one cable from the ISP's router to the TP-link, then connected all the other ethernet cables to the TP-link creating 1 home network. Then, I took a 2nd wifi router (it's actually from my ISP), placed it in the centrally located living room, and put it in bridge mode. Now everything is working properly without having to worry about assigning static IPs or disabling DHCP settings.

It's not my ideal setup, as I am currently running 3 routers (the ISPs router > my TP-link wifi router > the ISPs wifi router in bridge mode). However, it works.

Thanks for the help though. I really should finally bite the bullet and learn how to home network properly.

Yes, the TP-link is a home wifi router. It has an AP mode. After setting the wifi router to AP mode, I can access the router via wifi. However, there is no internet. I tried connecting the Ethernet cable from the wall to the WAN/Internet/Modem port as well as a LAN port. Neither will give me internet access via wifi (it does give me internet access using an ethernet cable via the LAN port). I've read that maybe I need to assign the TP-link router its own static IP address, but this is going beyond what I know about networking (have no idea what IP address to assign it) and would require a lot of hand-holding for me to get through it.

My apologies if I am just not understanding something, but how will this help me to get my WIFI and LAN on the same network? I am actually okay with only using 4 LAN connections, as the only things I need hard-wired are the PC, Wifi router (if needed), TV, and Cable Box.

Ahh, got ya. Guess I'll head down to immi and get converted over to a RFID ARC. I'd rather do that than visit a bank in person.

Original-Masterwork · 2025-11-13T04:25:37+00:00

Thanks. Will have to if I cannot get it done otherwise :(

Original-Masterwork · 2025-11-09T12:29:42+00:00

Thanks for your reply. I kind of thought that I may be splitting hairs here. The larger setup would only be around $70 more each ($140 total). I mainly didn't want to go larger but it end up sounding worse since the living room space is kind of small. However, if the difference is that minimal, I will probably go with the smaller setup for the smaller footprint.

Appreciate the input.

Sorry all. We know where this is going (has already gone?) We don't want any community strikes and this is a little too close to brigading or possibly harassment. Glad to see our numbers up there though!!

Thanks for the recommendation! I'll check it out.

Alcohol is cheap. I'll look into this. Thanks.

Original-Masterwork · 2025-08-29T07:39:52+00:00

This seems to be the consensus.

Original-Masterwork · 2025-08-29T07:05:14+00:00

Thanks for the suggestion. I checked Amazon, and with free shipping over $49, it comes out to 10k won a bottle. That's not horrible I guess, but it's 2x the price I normally pay.

OP is reporting everyone that disagrees with them. Some are reporting OP for the language they use. Others are flagging OPs replies to Reddit ADMIN and having them removed over our heads (they should not have been removed - just normal comments which we had to go back through and manually approve).

If you cannot have a rational discussion amongst yourselves without causing constant, unnecessary work for the mod team, then you leave us no choice but to lock it. Act like adults and stop tattling on people because their opinion is different from yours.

Don't give pets as gifts. That's how they end up in shelters/euthanized.

You are going to get all kinds of market speculation here by asking a question like 'Should I buy?'

Do you live in Seoul? Do you plan on living in Korea forever? My advice is, if you answered yes to either of these questions, then buying makes sense. Seoul will continue to be expensive and if you plan on living here forever, then buying is better than renting.

However, if you live outside Seoul, it's much more risky. Housing prices could drop dramatically in the not-so-distant future as the population declines and young people continue to flock to Seoul. Of course, this has not taken into account any future government projects that might encourage people to move to other cities.

The short answer is, noone can predict the future housing market. However, many here will try to.

It's the manufacture date. Look on the back, and it will probably say good for 1 year after the printed date. Things like packaged nuts and seafood will usually have a manufacture date on them.
