If you really
must live and work in Korea for the money or something equally as significant, it
may be worth the hassles.
May because the money made there would not be enough for me to jump through all their hoops. As an example, I previously held an E-2 for many years but am presently living outside of Korea. How would I go about getting my MHR? Fly to Korea? How long will it take me to get a straight answer from someone who really knows? Not worth my time.
Then again, fortunately for me, I have never had to rely on my ESL wages as my primary source of income and so have little patience with bureaucracies thinking I will spend my waking existence satisfying the requirements of the moment.
