I may get a job there and I am wondering if its a fun area? Or what is like in general by anyone whose been.

I've never been there myself, but have met many foreigners who lived there. They all said they like it a lot. Pretty big ex-pat community too, from what I hear.

Downside: You're outside of Seoul. (But not that far.)

[frankly speaking]

many different areas of Bundang. Some are nicer and easier to get around than others. I personally, I find it to be kind of an armpit of drudgery. Nothing very exciting. A lot of Middle class families slaving away. Some good restaurants but the nightlife is a little lackluster. Traffic is quite congested in most areas, and it is a little more expensive than other Seoul Suburbs.

Some people say Pusan, rather than Busan, and some say Taejon rather than Daejon.

So if that is the case, replace the B with P and D with T, and every guy would like to live there.

It used to be so foreigner free, but now it's like freakin Jangsan in Busan. You can throw a rock out your front window and hit a foreigner in the head. No wholesome Korean experience. Just a bunch of little bars in Samsung Plaza full of whiny foreigners. Things just ain't what they used to be, Ted.

Bundang is alright. As others have said, there isn't much of a night life. I'm usually either in Seoul or sitting at home on the weekends. It's pretty quiet (quieter than Seoul) and the subways aren't as packed.
