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"

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.

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.

Yes, despite what other people will no doubt tell you, you can get work in South Korea without a degree. I'm not sure what kind of work you want to do, though. Some types of work are extremely hard to get a visa for without a degree, others are easier. For example, you can now get an E-2 visa to teach at a public school without a degree -- all you need is two years of college. However, teaching English at a hagwon without a degree is still illegal, unless you can find another way to get a visa (an entertainer visa is not legal to do this). Some people accomplish this by marrying a Korean or getting a Working Holiday visa. Korean-Americans can do any kind of work automatically, without any qualifications whatsoever, because of their race (F-4 Racially Pure Ethnic Korean Permanent Residency). The E-7 visa allows people like interpreters to work in Korea. The E-7 does not necessarily require a degree. The H-2 visa allows Korean-Chinese, often with few qualifications, to work in Korea. So yes, you can work in Korea without a degree, but it is much more difficult.

You can buy books and transfer them to the Kindle with USB. I don't think the ability to do it over the network is available in S Korea yet.
