South Korea is great. I lived there for 14 months back in 2000-01 and though I spent my working days closer to the DMZ I spent every weekend in Seoul. The city then seemed like it was passing through a liminal period of entering the super developed world while also possessing sidewalk fish markets and lots of counterfeit clothing. I never had anything but positive interactions with the people. What an awesome place to be young.
