Nope Korea is free from Visa

south korea need visa, but the process seems pretty simple.
as for what to get:
1. cosmetics
2. instant noodle (shin)
3. sea weed
4. hair pin/clips
5. photos, since you are going during CNY, look out for cherry blossoms (supposed to be as nice as japan, if not better)

SO which is which now? Need Visa or not?

S. KOREA NO NEED VISA, N KOREA NEED 1

Is North Korea famous for vacations? Maybe we can go and see the nuclear silos or nuclear reactor plants haha!!! Seriously, are they known for that?

Anymore "MUST BUY"?

So basically that's what we can buy from korea?

So, how about korean ginseng? They're the best in the world.......but may not be cheap

korean ginseng, the top grade ones are not cheap
so are the purple amethyst

just back from s.korea with my family follow the tours company.wat i can say is it was rly a good place to have fun.suitable for teen n adults. korea famous is kimchi n ginseng.go to s.korea no need visa.but the things in korea r so exp.the only things u can buy at s.korea is the shirts n pants n also those mee cup which i think cheaper than malaysia but other than tht is so exp.if u go restaurant eat n paid urself,it also exp than here.

it is best to go there during winter or fall. you can get also halal food, but mostly in Itaewon.

the best thing in Seoul is, you'll never be afraid to walk around after midnight only by yourself. I've done it. safer than Malaysia, hahahaha...

but with winter thr a lot of thing can c.if thr was snowing then many thing cant play at thr de like ski n theme park.
