I imagine the concerns of the OP are airfare and waltzing around Korea at own cost looking for a job. Daunting for a newbie.


Depends how sedentary a person is. You can get a goshiwon or goshitel for about 250,000 won (figure $250/month). Use the subway and bus system. Recruiters in Korea are better than Japan (which don't really exist) and China (which do nothing to help you).

What seems daunting is going to a foreign country knowing the contract is bad and waiting 12 months to do something else. If you are that much of a newbie, then you should go to Seoul (I can't speak for Busan, but I think it's the same) where there is more English support. Don't go to a rural part of the country.
