Most of the big shopping centers (E-Mart, HomePlus) *should* have some good knives. If not, try the big dept stores (Lotte, Hyundae). They will have some quality knives for sure, most likely Henckels.

Expect to pay a lot, though.

Apgujeong Hyundai and Lotte Depot In Myeongdong have Global Knives which are recomended by Anthony Bourdain

I bought a set of Henckels at Lotte or Shinsaegae, last year. I think you can also buy some of the higher end brands online (Auction, etc).

If you can find them, buy Henckels. I remember they had a life time warranty if for any reason a knife or tool was damaged, they would replace it.
I had an 8" and a 10"(?) chefs knife and I wanted a fish knife, so I threw the 8" at the floor, bent the tip, took it in and paid the difference for the fish knife. They don't have that now....boo hoo.

Great knives though.

I'm sure you could go to most of the department stores here and find Henckels or Global knives. I do know that emart does sell a couple of Henckels knives but they are most likely a lower line.
