Some contracts make provisions for one week of emergency leave in the event of a death, or life-threatening illness/injury, of a family member. Even if this is not in a contract, any Korean employer will typically give you a week off (as long as you have demonstrated that you are a good teacher); it's a better option than losing an employee. This leave is unpaid and may require some sort of proof of the situation.

“I have been teaching in Keelung, Taiwan for over 1 year now, and plan to stay at least another. Footprints Recruiting was an invaluable service for me, assisting in many ways to ensure I had a smooth transition. Without their support, moving to Taiwan would have been much more difficult, and my experience much less enjoyable. I have, of course, become friends with other teachers, both in my school and elsewhere, who did not come via Footprints Recruiting. Many had encountered problems, such as teaching at an unprofessional school, visa problems, housing problems, etc. I am grateful I never had any such difficulties. My experience in Taiwan has been wonderful.”
