i live as an expatriate overseas, so i can relate. i moved for a few reasons, and im glad i did.
a few things you may want to consider
- are you doing this for tax purposes? if there are benefits, speak to your employer or the tax man/accountant and find out if there are advantages
- is it worth being away from family and friends for the benefits that you recieve? will you bring your partner/kids with you?
- living abroad has many advantages in that you get to learn a lot more about not only the new place you live, but the entire region that you live in. It can become a multidimentional working holiday as you explore the region. it open up many places to travel to and experience.
- is security a concern for you considering who your neighbours are?
- will you have to learn korean from the get go? and how open is korea to the west?
without doubt the first few months will be testing times as you adjust to an expat life, and get used to things not running the way they do back home. expect that anywhere.
sorry i cant help about S. Korea, since i havent been there, but i can help about expat life in general.
