| Are there any health food stores where I could get organic vegan delicacies? |

Yes but it's very hard to get around seafood. Typical Korean meals are rice, soup (meat broth), meat or fish, and kimchi (which has shellfish in it). The only vegan part is the rice. It will be very hard to eat out if you can't at least eat a little seafood.
E-mart (at least the one near my house in Yeouido) has an organic section, you can definitely buy organic vegetables, tofu, and maybe some meat substitutes made of tofu. |

Depends what you want. There will be an organic section at most Shinesgae department stores, but all the food is imported and thus expensive.
You can also buy fake meats here, but why would you want to? |

| Why wouldn't I want to? What about fake cheese and fake milk? Actually, I don't eat much of that stuff. Except for rice milk. |

In Korea we have many nuts and hole grain treats that you can try. They are very good.  |

Rice and soy milk: No Problem, they're everywhere.
Fake cheese: No chance, unless you count those processed Kraft slices that are 99 % plastic. Real cheese is hard enough to come by; fake cheese is decades off.
Fake meats: You can get those protein chunks at Thai/Indian grocery shops, but if you want flavoured stuff and don't mind giving your money to suspicious cults then the Supreme Master vegan restaurant chain sells a wide variety. I question why you'd want to as a) if you're vegan, why do you want to eat something that tastes and feels like meat and b) if you're into sustainability, it's highly processed. |

| If you're looking for protein... there's tofu all over the place! Many delicious Korean ways to cook it, too. |
