Monster.com, the largest job information site in the U.S., carries adverts looking for unqualified individuals to teach in Korea, and some posts have angered Korea's sensitive netizens.
Typing "korea" into the site's search engine produced 307 job advertisements on Monday. Most of them were for English instructors.
Most of them start off by saying "no educational experience required".
They also mostly link to a domestic English teaching job site that includes pictures of famous Korean women entertainers wearing curious expressions, which some locals made sensitive by recent scandals involving English teachers say could suggest Korean women are "easy".
One message board post charges Koreans with racism. "No matter how well you speak English, you can't get a job teaching English unless you¡¯re white," it reads.
Meanwhile, the local English teachers' job site englishspectrum.com (www.englishspectrum.com), which was temporarily shut down after inviting public censure for posting information on "how to seduce Korean women," posted a notice on March 31 claiming that it will reopen soon.
