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

Interesting take but I think you overpaid. Try using a different site next time.

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

Excellent write-up. This is why this forum is the best resource out there.

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