Not from 9ja, but I lived in Seoul for 3 years. Sorry I can't help with info about traveling from 9ja, but hit me up if you have any questions about Korea itself. I'd be happy to help you out.

Txn bro. I would like 2 how d place is generally d especially in d area of reception of foreigners. Would want 2 know about racism there. Hw is d cost of living 4 a single. Am planning Gwangju not dat big city(Seoul). Thanks n waiting 4 your response.

I'll start with acceptance of foreigners, i think they're more open to people in seoul than other places, if you could go to seoul, that would probably be easier for you. Koreans generally aren't very open to people they don't know (even other koreans), so it's even worse for people of other races, and probably even worse for blacks. That doesn't mean you will experience outright racism in your face (which probably will not happen unless you're out drinking and some random guys MAY come up to you) or if you are with a korean girl. Korean generally keep to themselves and just stare alot (they even stare at me for speaking english on the cell phone, and I'm ethnically korean). If you can get used to that, they stare at anything different, not just blacks, then go for it. Just be careful around bar areas at nighttime and when you are with a korean woman. Again seoul has areas like itaewon and hongdae where there are more foreigners and young people, so those areas are very cool and laid back. people down in gwangju may be a little more conservative.

As for money in seoul a room in a shared apartment starts at around 500,000 won. your own apartmnet will cost more. and things will be cheaper in gwangju. hope this helps

My dream travel destination in the future is to getto japan and korea. ^^ thanks for the info and very cool to know that an ethnic korean is part of this website
