I exchanged some cash at the airport when i first arrived, but not all of it because the rate seemed really bad (i believe it was 909won to 1 USD) I had read that there were lots of places to exchange money but have not seen any such place. I don't have a bank account, so i don't know if i can exchange it at any bank, but would the rates be bad there as well? I am currently in gangnam, so any help in this matter would be greatly appreciated.

Also, i realize that there have been numerous posts regarding this matter, but upon searching, i didn't find any answers to my query. Thanks you in advance, internet world

spliff is right. korea isn't set up to accomodate any foreign banking needs conveniently on the weekend. you can try the currency exchanges in itaewon, among other places, but i wouldn't expect great rates. probably better than incheon int'l airport though. only exchange there if you have you no other option!
