Can sighted masseurs legally work in South Korea

Can sighted masseurs legally work in South Korea ?
I know that for the past century only blind people could become licensed masseurs there.Then in 2006 they made visually handicapped people eligible for this work too and in 2008 sighted masseurs started to fight against this "monopoly".So how did it end?Can sighted masseurs now legally work in South Korea ?

I don't know who is legal and who is not, but there are thousands of masseurs here who are not blind.

I've had lots of massages from lots of different people and none have been blind so far so I'm going to say yes, sighted masseurs can definitely work legally in South Korea.

Will my wireless router work in South Korea

Will my wireless router work in South Korea?
I have an 802.11 B/G wireless router that was purchased and used in the United States. I'd like to know if it will work in South Korea. One consideration that I'm not sure about is whether South Korea uses the same network cables that are used in the U.S., to go between the router and a DSL or cable modem. Besides that issue, are there any other problems I might run into? Thanks!

It will work just like normal, at least in Seoul. Cat 5 cables are exactly the same. They only issue you may have is plugging it in if it is 110V power. Then you will need a transformer or if the router supports 110 - 240V then just get a plug adapter. I use a linksys wireless.

There's usually more than one make-up artist assigned to a group, because each group has minimum of 5 members, right? And, within one company, there's a lot of groups, and each group has different schedule. For example, SM. While SNSD has a performance to do in Kang-nam, F(x) might be having an interview in Bun-dang. So, yes, a group of make-up artist will be assigned to one group. In that one group of make-up artists, one person takes care of skin make-up, the other lips, the other eyes, and so on. Or one make up artist is assigned to one member to do everything, but most companies stopped doing this because then each member's make-up differs a bit. And they didn't like that.

There is no such thing as an "open work permit" in South Korea. The only way you can work here is to be sponsored by a particular employer. Koreans aren't interested in hiring foreigners unless it is to abuse them in sweatshops for little to no pay. Political refugees (other than North Koreans) find it nearly impossible to obtain asylum in this country, so you should forget "permanent residency"
2 :
I don't think they allow it... Maybe if you were a English teacher, but Koreans don't want other nationalities working in Korea. I'm not certain and I could be wrong. Good luck

The only way to get permanent residency in Korea (F5 visa) is to be married for over 2 years on the F2 visa, at least 30 million won in the bank and a lease on an apartment. If you are not married, you need to be here for at least 5 years, no criminal record, making at least twice the national average salary, and have a high knowledge of Korean. To get a work permit, contact the local Korean consulate in Pakistan, they are always offering factory jobs, or engineering jobs if you are well qualified. Fill out an application there. They always offer those types of jobs in Phillippines, Pakistan, Vietnam, Saudi Arabia, just to name a few.
