I need to send money to my fiance but I am not sure how to do it. To send it Western Union do I need a reference number for one particular location? Do I just send it in his name? Thanks for any help.

Send it in his (passport identical) name.
They will give you a reference number on the receipt.

He will need his ID (passport) and the reference number to get it.

KB* bank is probably the easiest Western Union agent for him to find in S.Korea to collect the money.

For what it's worth I went to the KB right below my house last week to receive money this way. It was really easy. He asked for my passport, I didn't have it so I just showed my ARC (the local ID here that your fiance probably has) and the reference number.

That said, I recommend bringing his passport.

Also - Make sure he knows how much the amount is for. They usually ask this question..

I think you can send no problem. Many Banks in ROK accept western union and she can get her money. I have used KIUP bank in the past.
