The product:
- A search engine to compete with Amazon, app based. Status - needs about 10 programmers to finish it, comes with a pitch deck. Also, made an app game to promote it's launch, the app features some medium-well known writers & reporters. The app game is done, but not launched. I never launched it as the time mechanism in the game play needs to be improved.
- I'm also looking for help with programming, only equity. Have programmers already making it; however, their is a lot to do, marketing & partners = pretty solid. Platform based, semi-social network that benefits startups.

I really share your sentiment, I've been going through the same thing and I live in Seoul too.
I was working at a startup, got accepted to a startup accelerator and cannot afford to participate as it's overseas. Have to work remotely and move back to my country.
Sold all of our furniture as we couldn't pay the rent (wife + baby). I have applied to companies in my home country (Australia), and have interviews set up. This might be the way to go for you.
Jobs in SK are really tough if you are not fluent in Korean.
I have a remote team, but it's because I'm taking on 2 markets that have synergy - the US & Seoul. Both share strong ties. We have one team based in NY, the other team in Seoul.
Advantages: Remote teams can give you access to new markets & you have greater flexibility in hiring.
What it comes down to: strong communication, personal drive, the ability to work alone & trust - this is vital for people working remotely.
This is one possible resource for you www.codecloud.me - what it does, people can code together on projects. The focus is on learning and unfortunately no payment. They do have some machine learning projects on there which could help you to start off & it comes with mentors.
