Cediazf,
I read your issue between the lines. It is beyond training & skills.
If you have never been working outside of USA or 1st world countries, the local mind need to be deciphered prior to joining.
You are dealing with Korean military "heros" or local Koreans who may still remember the Koeran War with foreigners, specifically Americans, echoing a bad déjà vu memory. You may be faced with protectionist vs openess in a strong nationalistic spirit in the legacy American GIs leave behind them :

Foreigners are never equal & will never be treated as equal nor fairly treated in Asia, whereas in "civilized countries" open to immigrants from around the globe, all would be treated on an equal footing in spite of uncovered unassumed ostracism xenophobia, unless openly racism.
Besides, your impressive resume may challenge them or intimidate many of the less experienced gentlemen who are driven to vicious self-defense. They may be intrigued with your skills and study you till the very end - to learn from you ? - instead of eliminating you right away.
Wish you could size the real dimension of a cheap testosterone war and shrugg it off. PM me if you want to discuss further. Best.
