Information on T-money card in the first post should be corrected, T-money is widely accepted throughout the whole of South Korea - subway, buses, taxis, coffee bars, etc.

T-money users get a discount on stage bus fares and if you change bus within 40 minutes the next ride is free (at least in Geoje).

Strongly recommended to buy one, avoids queuing for tickets, fumbling for change.

Thanks for the concise comments and suggestions!
We are visiting Seoul end of October for the autumn foliage.
We will be staying near Myeongdong area.

This is my rearranged itinerary:

Day 1
Namdaemun
Myeongdong
Namsan Park
N Seoul Tower

Day 2
COEX Mall + Aquarium (optional)
Gangnam
Shinsa-dong
Sinchon
Ewha
Hongdae

Day 3
Gyeongbokgung
Gwanghwamun
Tosokchun for lunch
Bukchon Hanok Village
Insadong

Day 4
Noryangjin Fish Market
Itaewon
Dongdaemun
Gwangjang Market
Cheonggyecheon Stream

Day 5
Namisan Island
Petite France
Lotte Mart near Seoul station

Day 6
Back to KL

I arranged Dongdaemun on another day because we wanted to visit that place during night time. Day 4 route seems a little bit out of place. Any suggestion?

If you want to see the autumn colours, you should really try to get out hiking in the mountains. I'm sure there are some good walks recommended online for the area you're visiting. Remember to take clothes to suit the season. Hopefully you can catch the persimmon season!

Don't be ignorant and assume I'm asking the cheapest price for this current promo. Read my question again. I'm asking what's cheapest price to seoul. Macamlah very susah to tell whether it's 5xx or 6xx or 7xx?

I found 700 year end. If there's gonna be cheaper then I'll wait for next promo.

If you'd use the search link I'd given you, you would have the same answer. Here it's done for you.

I'm trying to book a car rental reservation, using Lotte Car rental.

I used the normal reservation type, then I saw there is an overseas reservation? Which one you're using?
And does it come with English Navigation? I reckon only Korean Navigation to choose @@

Thanks

Navigators are dual language Korean/English, you can ask the hire company to change the language.
