Quick question for the South Korea regulars — has anything changed in the last few months?
I was there in 2024 and had a great time but I've heard prices have gone up.
Worth going back or should I try somewhere new?
Cheers

This is outdated info IMO. Things have changed since last year. Current prices are higher than what's described here.

How long did it take to feel comfortable and find the good spots?

Did you feel safe walking around at night?

Adding my experience from last month.
The scene has stayed the same since pre-COVID. Biggest change: prices up 20%.

Spot on with the prices. That matches what I paid in February.

I was there in March and prices were slightly higher.
Spent about $84/day all-in. Quality was excellent.
My tip: go early evening for best selection.
