The only place I know to exchange foreign currency is at the KB Bank. My school isn't allowing to leave today in time to make it there before they close (4:30) and I was told they're not open on Saturday. Is there any other places that I can make foreign exchanges that are either open for later hours or even on the weekend? I'm in Yongin-si and the only other place I know for sure I can go to is the Incheon Airport, which I don't want to make the long trip if I don't have to. Please help!

They'll probably have an exchange window at the international building of Gimpo Airport open over the weekend.

I'm assuming you want to buy foreign currency with Korean won. If it's the other way around, you can easily exchange foreign money for won at any major hotel (for a price), especially those with casinos (7 luck, Waker hill, Millenium Hilton).

If you goto Myungdong in Seoul you can buy US/Chinese/Japanese currency with won.

There are lots of money trading shops open around there. Good rates too
