Where I live now I would be more likely to find a tiger than even a small sea shell fossil.

You'd be more likely to find a tiger 'fossil' where you are now, so why ask where is a good place to find fossils if you already seem to know the answer to your question?

Possibly one of the seedier bars in Itaewon. Look around and you will see them perched on bar stools.

What I'm saying is that the rocks where I live don't seen to show any trace of prehistoric life. I'm just wondering if anyone else who might live in an area rich in Limestone sandstone or shale might of had some luck.

I heard there's a place with dinosour footprints in Korea

Sure. I've been there. Try Googling "dinosaur footprints in Korea."

There are displays at many of the highway rest stops that have fossils, minerals and bonsai for sale. The fossils are mainly from china and africa but the choice can be interesting. A lot must sell as the available choice changes rapidly.
I've seen Trilobites, ammonites, shark teeth, fossilised fish and lizard skeletons and armoured squid.

Iksan and Ocean Park are two I often stop at.

The dinosaur trackway is one of the longest in the world. There are also bird footprints. As to finding your own fossils, how to go about that I am not sure.

There's a dinosaur museum close to where I live. It's the Goseong Dinosaur Museum, and it's on the southern coast. Might be worth checking out if you're that serious about fossils. Plus you could check out some of the little islands while you're in the area.
