Are there many people in Korea – Korean or foreign – *not* overworked and underpaid?

This program was the bright idea of the former, now impeached President, who is sitting in jail. He was criticized heavily that this wasn’t a good idea, yet he stubbornly forced it through like an authoritarian that he was.
Now these women can finally go home to the Philippines. They’re free now.

Wasn’t that the point of the program? Under pay foreigners so they can work for wealthier Koreans.

“Washing the dishes and caring for pets” is not within the scope of a helper? Also, I wouldn’t categorize this as “overworked” – very different in fact.
And KRW1.19bn in wages is higher than what you’d get in Hong Kong / Singapore, especially when you first start out. Mind you, the working conditions I would think are better than working for a Chinese family (from the stories I’ve heard).
