I have a passport with a big whole-page stamp on it. It clearly says
"Multiple-Entry."

Yup, that's it, all right. Good job! You can now work in the Republic of
Korea, and enter and leave the country as you please.

Well, that's pretty good. You can work in South Korea, but if you leave
the country at any time, you won't be able to work again when you come
back. So if you go on vacation in Japan, you might be in trouble. You
might want to get this changed from single-entry to multiple-entry, which
(I believe) can be done from inside Korea.
This is, incidentally, the one mistake listed on this page that I haven't personally made.

Umm, that's not a visa at all. It's probably a "Certificate of Visa
Issuance," which allows you to geta working visa before you go to
Korea. Take it to your nearest Korean consulate (in any country
except Korea)
as soon as possible and get them to put a stamp (be sure to ask for
multiple-entry) on your passport. Be prepared to leave your passport at
the consulate overnight, and pick it up the next day, if necessary.
If you go to Korea with only the certificate, you will be going in circles at Immigration, will not be legally allowed to work, and will soon have to shell out for a plane ticket to Japan (if you get into Korea at all).
Remember, whatever you may have been told, this is not in fact a visa. You must get your working visa before you enter Korea. If you don't, you will have to leave Korea again to get things straightened out.

Hey now, that's a visa, but it's not a working visa. You can look at
temples and take pictures of the mountains, but if you go to work, the
government may not take kindly to it.
