thanks for the info i tried to call a WU agent here in suwon however i found out that for every 2 mil won they charge 80 USD in contrast with bank to bank transfer they only charge 18,000 won although for WU it takes only minutes to reach the beneficiary but for bank to bank it will take 2-4 days =)

I have sent money oversea's VIA internet banking it was deposited in the account within 24-48hr's. I don't know if you have internet banking here or know someone that could help you do it. It might be an option.

Cheers,
