1) One can see after reading the entire posts at the various websites that some posts are dated. I think the oldest is from 2002. You may say that was a whole six years ago. Some of the current Yes Youngdo teachers were in college or even high school then and had never heard of this hagwon. However, I have to say that it really wasn't that long ago and even if it has been a few years, or up to six years, based on what the teachers say - these things really happened!
2) One may also think that some stories are made up. Well, it's possible. I'm aware of that. Some stories may also be half-true with extra tidbits added in. Each one could be completely made up. It's possible! Is it likely though that they were all made up? What do you think?
Based on my own experiences, and hearing seemingly millions of stories like these from teachers who worked all over Korea, I would conclude that the stories may not be entirely true but there is probably a lot of truth to them.
