    I remember that some years ago Korea National League didnt accept foreigners, but I think this changed some years ago and now they are allowing teams to use foreigners in Korea National League is this correct?

    What about Challengers League did any change happened or foreigners are still not allowed?

    I believe National League allows foreign players. There's been a few foreign players on some teams.

    I'm not sure about the Challengers league. Even if they did allow it, I doubt it would make much sense financially to scout out and sign foreign players.

    Yeah i'm pretty sure they accept foreigner. I've read about 2 players from east timor joining Jeonju Citizen.

    Are you coming here to teach English? Challengers league is amateur so you can play part time. National league is a different story.

    Umm, all players even in the Challengers league have played professionally at one time or have youth experience (university/high school team, etc). If you are interested, you might get better advice at rokfootball.com

    I'm expecting our friend has some expeience as well. It's not that hard to join up and train with them. My barber played there with only university experience.
