Lucy Job Quality Report
How to read this: every line below comes straight from the employer’s structured listing fields — there is no hidden score. “Not stated” means the employer didn’t disclose it, which is worth asking about before you sign anything.
✓ Verified Checked 2026-08-20
Business registration (사업자등록) checked against the National Tax Service, matched to this listing, and the person who posted it confirmed as an authorized contact.

| Dimension | What the listing says |
|---|---|
| Pay | ₩2,500,000–₩3,200,000 / month ≈ ₩14,400–₩18,400 per teaching hour Effective pay per hour (base salary only — housing is listed separately and not counted) is how you compare jobs with different schedules. Rates are approximate: the salary as advertised, divided by the hours as advertised. Where the employer gave a ceiling ("up to 40 hours") rather than a typical week, the real rate is the higher one — check the hours line below and ask what a normal week actually looks like. This is an employment contract, so Korea's 2026 statutory minimum wage of ₩10,320/hour (₩2,156,880/month on the official 209-hour basis) applies to it. See salary data across all live listings. |
| Teaching hours | 40 / week Actual classroom hours. Full-time hagwon roles in Korea typically run 22–30 per week. |
| Time on site | Not stated Hours you must be at the workplace, including prep and gaps between classes. |
| Split shift | Not stated A morning-and-evening schedule with a long unpaid gap in the middle of the day. Unpaid gaps do not count as working time, so a split shift lengthens the day without raising the pay. |
| Weekend work | Yes — 격주 토요일 8시간 Whether Saturday or Sunday classes are part of the normal schedule. |
| Benefits | ✓ Severance pay · ✓ National pension · ✓ Health insurance · ✓ Flight / settlement support Severance (퇴직금) and national pension / health insurance enrollment are legal requirements for full-time employees in Korea. “Not stated” only means the listing doesn’t mention it — ask before you sign. |
| Paid vacation | Statutory minimum Korea's Labor Standards Act §60 (근로기준법) — 11 days in the first year (one per full month worked), 15 days from the second, rising by one every two years to 25. Workplaces with fewer than five employees are outside this rule (§11), so ask how many staff the school has. Separate from Korean public holidays. |
| Contract | Employee · Full-time · 1 month An employment contract (근로계약) carries the four national insurances (4대보험), severance pay (퇴직금) and the statutory minimum wage, whether it is full-time or part-time. A standard first contract in Korea is 12 months. |
| Employer | Academy / language school Who you would sign a contract with. Whether we have checked them is stated at the top of this report. |
| Freshness | Posted 2026-08-21 · confirmed hiring 2026-08-21 · expires 2026-10-05 Listings expire automatically after 45 days unless the employer reconfirms the vacancy is still open. |
