Enrol as a student to study Korean.

Start up your own business in Korea and get a Business Visa.

Get sponsorship from a Korean company.

Cultural Visa.

wouldnt studying in korea be costly? im sorry i didnt mention i have no money either since well...im running away.

Well, then you are very few options.

Try maybe homestay or summer camps. Once you arrive, you may be able to get some cash under the table work such as handing out flyers etc.

If you have no money, I wouldn't waste what funds you do have to pay the airfare to fly over there and then you will have to support yourself with little or no work. Dangerous recipe.
