Yeah that sounds like a huge mess with you in the middle. Sorry to hear it!It sounds very confusing too. Why were you offered the chance of keeping your apartment but switching to elementary?What happened with the first call? So that native teacher is leaving and you're replacing them. Are they going to your current school then; like a swap? Why does he care so much about where you live lolThen another native teacher got wind of this deal and wants to go to the elementary school that you're going to move to? In that situation where would you end up? A different school entirely?Sorry JVPrice, I've read your post a few times and still can't quite wrap my head around it

It's because you're not supposed to leave the country without permission. They're just checking where you'll be.
I think they do need to know where you're going to be during your vacation, but I'm not sure it's because you "need permission" to leave the country. I don't think they can tell you "no, you can't go abroad during your vacation." I'd be pretty surprised if they had that sort of authority.

It comes up almost every time. It's the one where he is a knight and slays the dreaded dragon. Man that ad is so bad and cheesy that it's almost good. If cheesy and memorable was their purpose then they really achieved it. I really should get the no ads version of YouTube.I always get the ad of some Korean man and his baby. D:I get either that or Beckham at the Marina Bay Sands in Singapore.

Is he actually a really good teacher? Is he some mascot whipped up by a hagwon? Is he some tv reality guy who got famous? Is he the next Sam Ham and someone we should all be wishing stinging insects and sunburn on? What's his deal?

Maybe they are getting you to sign a paper that says it is okay for them to get the information for you. If it is taxes, you will have to sign in using your bank special certificate. Then you just print out the pages with all the info. Weird they would be doing it already. Usually the end of Feb.
But, you'll want to have the form printed out for the taxes. In Korea all the times you used your bank card for shopping is totalled up as is any medical costs and will help reduce your tax bill. Don't be surprised when you owe more money. The form you get through the digital certificate helps defray that cost. I only had to pay an extra 40 something last year. That was lower than quite a few others I know. You want that paper unless you've never gone to a doctor or use cash exclusively.
