[WHY BUSAN?]

Most teachers default to Seoul. Smart teachers pick Busan.

> YOUR SALARY GOES FURTHER

Cost of living in Busan runs 30–40% lower than Seoul.

Same paycheck. Far more lifestyle.

> FOOD CAPITAL OF KOREA

Fresh seafood markets, Jagalchi Fish Market, legendary street food in Gukje Market. Seoul chefs come HERE to eat. That says everything.

> TIGHT-KNIT EXPAT COMMUNITY

Busan's foreign teacher community is smaller than Seoul's — which makes it warmer, more connected, and easier to build real friendships fast.

> LESS COMPETITION, MORE ADVENTURE

Busan is growing fast. Restaurants, cafes, art spaces, and nightlife are expanding every year. You'll feel like you got here at the right moment.
