I think you need a bachelor's degree even if you are TESOL/TEFL certified. From this site:
Three things are required to teach English in Korea. First, you will need TESOL certification. That can be accomplished through our wonderful programs at the American TESOL Institute. In just two weeks time, you can be ready for you first assignment. Secondly, to teach English in Korea, you will need a visa. At American TESOL, we can sponsor your application. Finally, you will need an undergraduate degree. Other countries require only a high school degree, but not so in Korea.
All sites I've seen say that you need a bachelor's at least. Though this site says this:
Unless you have a Bachelor’s or Master’s in Education OR a teaching license you will need to become TEFL (Teaching English as a Foreign Language) certified to qualify for the Teach in Korea program.
But I don't know if it's just talking about their program as opposed to teaching in Korea in general.
