"A South Korea group uses the Internet and other means to track foreign teachers, in an effort to ferret out illegal or unsavory behavior. The teachers say they're victims of stalkers and rumors."

Full article -- LA Times

One of the comments on the article says that Yie has been at this for years, and that it's old news to some extent. But for anyone teaching in Korea, or thinking about it ... it's not necessarily something to take lightly.

That's just insane... Are they really doing something bad (the foreign teachers), or is this all being blown overboard? For some reason I'm thinking its the second option at the moment...

well, that guy who started the whole business of "investigating" those teachers must have had some really bad experiences if he's going through all that trouble "investigating".

The guy is crazy, plain and simple. Did you catch this quote:

"It's not stalking, it's following. There's no law against that."

Yeah, right. So I guess following someone to their private residence isn't considered trespassing either, just walking by? rolleyes.gif

I guess its a combo of his racist views and he feels his occupation is threatened. Clearly the wrong way to go about it, but its gone on for so long and he's still at it unsure.gif

I suppose there's nut jobs everywhere, just hope nobody feels what he does is jusified or anything mad.gif
