I've got a design for a t-shirt that I want to make here, just a simple silkscreening kind of thing, but I can't find anywhere that will make just a few. I checked around Dongdaemun but they weren't any help. Any ideas?
And after I make the shirt I'll post the picture here. It's amazing... Twisted Evil

This doesn't help you at all, so sorry, but, a friend wants to get a t-shirt made up with hangul on it. and is thinking about doing the iron-on transfer thing. Where can you get the paper for it?

Blue Flower, I'm sure there are better ways to go about it, but you could go to one of the sports shops near Dongdaemun Stadium that offer football shirt printing and see if you can buy the letters from them.
I got 'Seo Jung-Won' printed on my Suwon shirt in Hangeul and they had plenty of spare letters, same with English letters too should you want them.
I don't see why they wouldn't sell the letters, or even print the t-shirt if you told them what you wanted.

Lots of places.

Easiest location to describe is between Shinchon and Ehwa subway (much closer to Shinchon station) stations on the south side of the street. Keep walking up the street and you'll see a place with a lot of printing equipment inside. On display they have mugs and pillows with photos on them.

Itaewon.. 30.000 for the plate!

All right, I've just about made the t-shirt - thanks for your help everybody. It can be made with ink jet transfer paper (7200W for five sheets, can be found at most stationary stores), and then printed out on most printers. I haven't ironed them on yet but will tonight. Making three of them.
The Korean name for the paper is:Ƽ�� ...
And now here's the shirt itself:

All right...it's not the picture itself that's amazing; it's a poster made in North Korea after they won a soccer game against the Italians in 1966. You can tell it's from North Korea not only by the fact that it has North Korea written on the bottom left, but also:
(North Korean-South Korean)
�»�-��
��-��

the slight differences in language as well.
And the words themselves say:

Soccer World Cup
A surprising event of historical significance
GOAL!
democratic People's Republic of North Korea:1 Italy:0
1966.7.19

That's all there is to it.
Surprised

Just watch that you don't get done for reproducing or wearing communist propaganda Wink

Made two more t-shirts today with these designs:

They're just about the funniest things I've ever seen - they're from a self-defense/guide to daily life manual I stumbled upon that looks straight out of the 70s. The first picture says: how to look like you fight well...bring your left foot forward, leave some space in between the two legs, put your hands on your knees and...perfect.
And the second one says: comforting a woman. Stroke her hair and she will calm down. But, stroke it the wrong way and you'll have the opposite effect!
I couldn't have dreamed up anything funnier.

Those are extrememly funny. What will you do with the shirts? Can you wear them at your work?

Well, I made five today, kept two and have already sold/given away the rest to friends of mine. They seem to be popular. Luckily I don't work at a hagwon anymore, but I imagine they would be the conversation piece for the entire day for a teacher at one of them.

I would like one of those - how much are you selling them for?

The fighting one would make a good chrissie pressie. totally funny.
