Most places in Korea are very similar to one another. They all have low crime, the pay will be the same everywhere, and there's always BBQ chicken places in every city. Stick to ones over 1,000,000 people and you'll always have something to do and the same options as Seoul.

Depends on you.

he OP didn't offer enough detail.

Do you like mountains? The beach?
Tropical weather? More snowfall?
A more 'rural' life or city?

the best BBQ chicken maybe in Korea is in Dongincheon at Sinpo market. It is famous. MBC and other TV stations have covered it.

Best place to live depends on what you like to live near. Best combination of livability and accessibility is probably Busan.

By popularity Jeju would probably be the answer but you have to fly by plane to get to a decent sized city.

One of my friends in South Korea said when you go to the gym they lend you workout clothes and towels. Then when you are done they wash em. Huh? In the U.S., some gyms offer towels, same as when you go to the hotel, but clothes, all sweaty then washed. I don't know, that's like almost wearing clothes from the thrift store.

Also, are there any good beaches in South Korea? Warm weather the better.

Good beaches?
Gangwon-do (province) has really nice beaches but it gets cooold there
You probably want Pohang, Busan, or Jeju.
Mokpo, Jindo, and Geoje are all good options too

That's a...a....a....not good question.
What is best to one is not best to hundreds of others.
Best is where you are happy at.
Best is where you will have the least amount of stress.
And everyone is different.
