<p>A South Korean university an employer has never heard of will likely not have much weight in comparison to an American university that the employer may recognize. </p>
<p>You absolutely do not need to attend college in South Korea to teach English there after graduation. That’s just overkill. You can study the language/culture at your college or one nearby if that’s not an option. It would likely be best to stay in the US and save money. Believe me, South Korea’s not going anywhere, you can always travel after college or study abroad for a semester or two. And are you fluent in Korean? Can you easily read and write in the language to be able to complete your college degree? If not, it would be extremely advisable to stay in the US to complete your degree.</p>
