The KEB site is good b/c it gives you an idea of what the banks will actually give you, but you need to use IE (korea compatible!)

Whatever bank or service you use to remit money is the best site. I use Woori Bank so I check their rates every day. Other than that, I think http://www.xe.com/ is quite good.

From 9 till 3 this website has the won in real time. I'm guessing those are the hours of the korean stock exchange.

When the won's having a good day, it can be mildly entertaining to watch it improve. On a bad day it's seriously depressing. No graphs other than the current day.

Is there some kind of trick to bookmarking this site? When I click on the above link it works fine, but if I try to access it from my bookmarks, I get an error message.

hmmm

Maybe go back to a menu and bookmark that page? My bookmark works fine but it doesn't surprise me with a K-website.
