Quick question for the South Korea regulars — has anything changed in the last few months?
I was there 6 months ago and had a great time but I've heard new venues have opened.
Worth going back or should I try somewhere new?
Cheers

What was your total spend roughly? Trying to budget for mine.

Not sure I agree about that area. I found downtown to be better value.

Hmm, I had a different experience. Prices were lower when I went. Maybe timing matters.

Spot on with the prices. That matches what I paid in February.

I'd rate it similarly. Solid 8/10 destination.

With respect, my experience was more mixed. But maybe I went at the wrong time.

Good info. I'd add that going during the week is much better — less crowded, better prices.

This is outdated info IMO. Things have changed since the pandemic. Current prices are actually lower than what's described here.

How long did it take to feel comfortable and find the good spots?
