And what exactly is a sound booth? perhaps you might want to be a bit more descriptive as many may not know what it is.

Are you talking about ADOBE SOUNDBOOTH CS4? or an actual soundbooth housing?

The adobe soundbooth cs4 i have if thats what yer lookn for.

Forgot to mention i also have, Total Training Adobe Soundbooth CS4 DVD in addition to VTC Adobe Soundbooth CS4 DVD.

pm me if this is what u r lookn for.

No I haven't seen it. I don't live in Seoul. I am trying to buy a used one. New one's start at 4M. There's a used market but it involves Korean skills. I have asked at least a half a dozen koreans to help me. They all say they would be delighted to help. Then they don't do anything Crying or Very sad I offer to pay. They refuse, saying they will help me for free. Then they don't help Crying or Very sad I've been at it for three months now.

At that price, I think it would be cheaper to rent a small 1-room somewhere with no neighbors!

It's for recording as well as practicing. An empty one room would sound awful, most likely.

Well, I hate to burst your bubble, but I've tested those sound booths at Yongsan, and they're not for recording, IMHO. They don't sound all that great inside... they block a lot of noise, but are still rather small and will produce a "box effect" that wouldn't sound so good if you were recording. I'd bet you'd need to add some additional wall treatment to clear it up enough for professional sound.

If you're sure a sound booth is what you need and you just need a Korean to help you buy one then get ahold of Brandon. He advertises on other websites for moving services, help with buying cars, renting apartments, etc. Basically whatever you need him to do, he'll do it for a fee.

4 million won sounds like a lot to pay for a sound booth. for that price, why not book some time at a pro studio? there are some decent low- to mid-range recording studios in hongdae. if you want to record at home, you could buy some electronic drums and a DI box and record silently. if you're looking for a less reflective room, i'd hang up some curtains or foam padding to block the hard surfaces in your apartment. or just say f it and do the best you can with what you have. you're not going to get pro sound recording in your apartment, anyway.
