Hey everyone! So I'm seriously considering getting some work done while I'm in Korea, but I'm hitting a wall trying to figure out which places are actually legit. I can read maybe 50% of Korean on a good day, so looking through Naver or local review sites is honestly stressing me out. I'm worried I'm missing red flags or falling for places that just have good marketing.

I've been relying on English reviews and YouTube a lot, but I feel like there's so much more info in Korean that I'm probably missing? Like, how do you all figure out what's trustworthy? Are there certain things that automatically feel sketchy to you, or questions you always ask during consultations? I'm also wondering if it's safer to go with places that have English-speaking staff, or if that doesn't really matter quality-wise.

Also, has anyone else felt overwhelmed by the sheer *number* of options here? Sometimes I feel like places are too good to be true just because of the price or the marketing, but I could also be paranoid lol. Would love to hear how other foreigners have approached this!
