Question

I heard Koreans are a bit paranoid about medical conditions. Even ones that don't affect teaching or other people in general - Epilepsy, Diabetes, Asthma.
Is it a BIG mistake to declare anything like this on the medical form that is a requirement of the application process?
Someone told me they were rejected from SMOE and EPIK last year because of an 'unseen medical condition'.
Thanks for any advice.

Answer

If it aint serious enough to come up in a blood test or medication check, leave it out. Try not to tick yes on any medical. Koreans freak out about our dirty foreign diseases.
