Anyone know the going rate for rum? I need at least 500ml-1L.

It's for a DIY project; we're tired of having to buy a particular baking product on the black market...

saw some bottles at Costco Ilsan for about 20 000 W (standard size bottles are 750ml so that should be enough?)

That sounds great. Definitely makes this DIY project much cheaper than buying the product off the black market.

Black or White rum?

You can pick up a 40 oz of Captain Morgan for 30,000 at the Kobawoo Supa in Haebangchon (usually).

It's good shite!

Lotte Mart carries Bacardi, Bacardi Gold and Bacardi 151.

Emart has Bacardi and 151, but also some Korean brand "Captain something", which wasn't half bad for 4,000. I highly recommend it.

No, no, no!

The rum you're referring to is called Captain Q, I believe. I used to buy this all the time, thinking it was saving me money. But unless you have the liver of an 18-year-old, this stuff will give you some of the worst hangovers you've ever experienced. My first month in the country, I was pretty much completely immobilized every Saturday and Sunday because of the stuff. I thought it was just because I was getting old (I'm 24), but strangely enough, once I stopped drinking Captain Q, the hangovers were greatly reduced.

Buy Captain Q at your own risk!

I bought some rum at E-Mart for 5000 (NOT Captain Q) but they don't seem to carry it any more. Sad

The only place I have seen white rum is at the Kobawoo convenience store in HBC.

Ha, yeah, Captain Q.

Well, I never had more than a glass or two, more of a pre-going out beverage or a take me down so I can go to sleep kind of thing.

OP has a DIY project, don't know what DIY you can do with rum.
