Next to the flour in the baking section of lotte-mart, home plus, etc.
It is labeled "corn starch" or "corn ??? / the white stuff not the corn flour.
(It was in English).

This link may help a bit in identifying cornstarch.

If you don't find the word "corn" you can always look for the Korean word which is oksusu (showing in the link).

Try your local supermarket, look for:

옥수수 (Corn)
콘스타치 (Cornstarch in Hangul) [Cohn-suh-tah-chee]

Yeah, I should totally buy some too, and use it in the gravy for the turkey I can't get to roast in the oven I don't have for the Thanksgiving that nobody will be celebrating but me. Laughing

They usually only have potato starch, which I have found to work equally well. At best I've found a hybrid of corn starch and potato starch.
