I've got won and don't know what to do with it! Should I just leave it in the bank and hope it improves over the next few months or should i just convert it to dollars now before things get worse?

Nobody (especially on this board) is able to predict the future. However, you can get very high interest rates at a few savings banks for term deposits here. So even if the won stays the same, or even worsens slightly, you'd be better off saving.

what sort of interest rates can you get these days? and for which banks? I`d imagine the government have cut interest rates significantly in recent months

almost 5% interest at KEB for 3-6 month deposits. check it out, it's a good deal.
