Legality of "volunteering" for room & board (and language class) in South Korea?

Accepted answer

Completely illegal. All you need is one phone call to immigration and that place will be raided. This is not volunteering, but real work -- 2 pm to 10 pm?!? Really?!? -- and while payment is in kind rather than in cash, it is still payment. And quite a cheap payment at that.

A tourist visa in Korea does not allow you any kind of work -- paid and unpaid. This is clearly in violation of the law.
