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.
It has nothing to do with someone not paying your taxes correctly, although that would obviously be a problem. Over the last several years they do a final assessment and your average teacher will owe. It's not uncommon for the bill to run into the hundreds of thousands, even if you paid properly each and every month. Doesn't cost anything to do the digital certificate but if don't think it will affect anything I suppose you don't have to go to the minimal bother of getting it.

Just curious, does a Korean Credit Card count as the bank card for taxes, or is it strictly the bank card? :o(My Korean CC is with lotte, but connected to my bank (I think) and have mostly been using that for the perks / points instead of my regular atm card).

Side question to this: If you are an American and filled the 8802 form to not pay double taxes, does this apply to you? Since I'm technically paying "American taxes" will I need to submit this information? I've been to the doctor a few times and always use my card when purchasing.
So sitting here desk warming when Admin comes in with some forms I need to fill out (Repot of Deduction) Okay easy... NOT! I have ZERO idea what it is that I'm supposed to do with this. Name (easy) ARN (easy) the rest... NO EFF'ING IDEA! I've never asked for a paystub but know what I make because it's in my account every month. Are they paying taxes? Yes, it reflects in my account. I have nothing to claim, other than income, but stupid me, thought that the school or the PoE would take care of this for me. I don't even know how to get this information for my pay. If some one gives me the NIES (or whatever the site name) don't. I've tried since day one to access that site and it's going on a year and I still can't log in. My main Teacher isn't here, of course... so no help there. I wish they would have given me this paper work to do while my teachers were around, so in case I needed help.... Oh! and he needs me to return it to him today... FML
