Over at Gusts of Popular Feeling, Matt has an article about a hagweon down in Yeosu where the institute's director was verbally and physically abusive to foreign teachers—in this case, at least two black women from South Africa. The story is pretty horrific. My own first-year experience at a hagweon in downtown Seoul in the early 1990s was pretty bad, but this story takes the cake.
When I met my buddy Tom earlier this year, we reminisced about the bad old days at that hagweon, and I wondered aloud whether the director might still be alive. He was in his sixties back then, and it's been thirty-some years... so he'd have to be dead now, right?
Or am I going to have to track him down and kill his ass?
