yep, different countries have different tax treaties. a US citizen always has to file a US income tax return, even if 100% of the income was earned in a foreign country. the tax treaties allow the US IRS to get your income tax information from the foreign country, and usually you get enough credits from the income tax you paid to the foreign country to completely offset US tax owed. but you have to file a tax return in both countries.
and i only have experience with US taxes, and know the US has such a tax treaty with Sweden, as well as with S Korea. i don't know what happens between Sweden and S Korea though.

Damn I had a quiz to run to right after Jinro won so I couldn't stay for the Q&A which was apparently EPIC. PLEASE tell me someone'll post that magical interview somewhere.

In Sweden it depends on how long you've been abroad :
less than 6 months : pay swedish tax (probably 30% for jinro based on his and his family's residence and a guess that he doesn't have salary above ~30k sek (3k€) a month) but the amount you pay in that foreign country is deducted (so if korea takes 10%, he will pay 20% in sweden).
6monts-1year: if you are hired abroad you pay tax to the foreign country, and may not have to pay swedish tax.
+1year: considered to have moved abroad more or less permanatly - you only pay tax to the foreign country.

edit: and he may get tax adjustment if he asks for it, he is very likely to get one if he only has his pricemoney as an income for example.

Well you are correct but it's not about for how long he's been abroad but for how long he is/will stay and probably more than 6 months thus he doesn't have to pay tax to Sweden, though how much would it be in Korea is there any tax on this? =)
