Mostly worked with Unity the past few years recently with machine learning and mediapipe, published a few papers, and have a double masters. Starting to learn Unreal Engine a bit more thoroughly as well as React/Typescript which I'm implementing on my website if you want to learn more about me at (url) desuq.cafe
I've earned a double masters utilizing Unity as well as applied what I've learned to my recent work experience. I've also worked with VR and AR. I'd like to work in areas of my interest which can be found on my resume or expand in Unreal Engine if the opportunity arises. My personal website isn't much currently, but you'll be able to find information about me on there at [desuq.cafe]

I'm from the US and the past few years been involved with conducting research in Virtual Reality using Unity
I used Anki for learning Chinese and visiting the country.
Now I'm using a relatively new app called LingoDeer to supplement my Korean learning while also being in Korea
I'd say I like Lingodeer more than Duolingo / Memrise which didn't feel effective for real life situations since you could essentially go through the two apps without feeling the need to apply what you've learned.
Anki is more independent learning which is excellent for getting vocabulary down in my opinion.
I've lived in Korea off and on in the past and am living here now.
I don't know regarding F-visa types, but I think you'd be able to get a job without too much hassle, maybe just some extra-work to seek out companies willing to communicate in English. There's definitely a pool of companies / startups interested in foreigners / their skillset though of course they would appreciate it if you could communicate a bit in Korean.
I believe you can also get a remote job from a company outside of Korea as others have mentioned the currency and work is not involved with Korea so it should be okay.
Jumping in and out with tourist visa is a bit more difficult now with most countries on lockdown. I also think Korea has a mandatory 10-day Quarantine at home or government facility for anyone entering the country, regardless of their vaccine / visa status.
For the last point, if you enter on a tourist visa (B-1,B-2) if it's applicable to you, that visa can be changed within Korea. But if it's the other type tourist visa (C-1,C-2) you can't change the visa within Korea. This is a rule I recall vaguely, so don't quote me exactly.
Not sure if it's too late to reply, but as a person living in Korea now, I can turn around from the cafe I'm in and see multiple PC Bangs.
Visiting one recently, my observation is still quite packed on the weekend, haven't experienced a weekday.
This is in a place outside Seoul and slightly near a popular downtown area. Just felt motivated to provide an opposite perspective based on real experience.
Thanks for the perspective. I wonder if there is an opportunity for these places to service office workers during the day, and gamers on weeknight/weekends? More and more people have the option to work from home, but may want a quiet office nearer their home. They could drop into these cafes for a few hours to get work done. Then come 5pm the place turns into a gaming cafe.
