I suggest to avoid Gyeongju for now because they are undergoing a lot of repair works due to the earthquake a few weeks ago. A lot of places are closed or have no entry for visits. Don't waste time there.
As for ethnic food that isn't commercialized or catered towards foreigners, basically it's available almost everywhere in Seoul. Look for small stalls (usually only 2-4 tables available) and menus with no English. But just be prepared to speak some basic Korean otherwise you end up not knowing what you order or the server gets annoyed (trust me on the latter, VERY common scene here).
yeap the quake was terrifying ~~ was still in seoul that nite, hongdae to be precise, during the 2 quake, thus din felt anything or anyone running.

Saw it on the news once back to my hostel ~~ waa dam freaky with them showing repeat of the falling bricks and smashing windows.
Anyway, I still proceed to Busan the next day ~
I prefer Busan as its more slower in pace then seoul.
