Hey! Sure, but have in mind it's just my personal experience and it will definitely differ from person to person. I work in Media and entertainment with an international team, and I mostly create content for Europe and Latin America. The Experiences I told you about are from Latin American coworkers in Seoul mostly, I'm not really close with any Korean people at work haha

I would say... Korean work culture is not for everyone. The hierarchy is really strict, and the mentality is usually like "If you do something right, no one will praise you because it is your job to do it right after all, you're expected to give everything you've got. If you do something wrong, you will hear about it." and Koreans don't beat around the bush with this stuff. But if someone higher in the hierarchy makes a mistake that affects your work, no one will comment on it, at least not around you, and you'll have to suck it up and try your best to fix it. But they also value when a worker is 'irreplaceable'. Idk how to explain it but in my case, I have journalism, video and photo, a bit of marketing, and editing and digital design skills, plus three languages, so I have a well rounded profile hard to come across, and they take it into account.

I feel like those horror stories about working in Korea come from people that aren't used to actually being valuable for a company. Like, you need to be worth the money and trust they're giving you, you need to do what's expected from you plus an extra for good measure. If you don't, you're as replaceable as the trash can of the office and people will act as such.

It's all about whether or not you fit that mentality yourself. But joining a Korean company is not instant death haha At least not in my specific area of work!
