With the current state of fuel costs, I think it may be unlikely that you actually find a ticket at that price.

Most airlines have fuel surcharges and taxes that are that much or did you mean price BEFORE taxes and surcharges?

You may find flights to the northern Philippines (Clark/Manila) for 400-500k won (after tax). Anything in the central region will cost 500-700k after taxes.

I think you will find a similar state of affairs for the beach destinations in Thailand.

You might luck out and get a flight to Taiwan on someone like EVA for under 400k (after taxes).

If you want to stay the whole two weeks at your destination, be prepared to pay well over 500,000 won, though the Philippines might be possible, but you'd have to fly into Manila and then pay more for connecting flights.

If you are prepared to just spend four to five days, then under 500,000 won is possible. You'd have to follow the schedule of a package tour and your stays would NOT be extendable.
