Not necessarily, but you will need a degree. In Korea, China, Japan and Taiwan you don't generally need a TEFL certificate.

You don't need a TEFL/TESOL certificate per se to teach English in South Korea. Having one, though, will increase your chances of starting off on an increased salary rate. Plus, having knowledge of TEFL/TESOL won't handicap your teaching abilities.

To be eligible to take a TEFL/TESOL certification course, your level of English needs to be at (CEFR) level C1 or C2. In addition to this requirement, some countries stipulate that job applicants must hold a college degree. The college degree is required for the work visa permit and can (usually) be attained in any subject.
