Has anyone seen mosquito nets for sale around Seoul? I need to get mine up before the attack of the little buggers.

They should start popping up in the big marts soon enough. Otherwise I think you'd need to order online or through some TV ad.

+1 on this....I'm trying to buy one for when I go travelling next month, tried a few outdoor shops but nothing so far. One place said to me to go to Namdaemun market, but I haven't had a chance yet. Let me know if you find one....I'll do likewise

I have one you can have for free if you want to PM me. I'm in the Gangnam area. Otherwise they're about 10,000won on G-market. I find that the plug in chemical things from the convenience store do a better job without the inconvenience of mosquito netting, albeit for a higher price if you're talking about more than one season.

I see them at Lotte Mart and other stores in season. Out of season, go with Gmarket. Need strong hooks without drilling? Go to an office/school shop and get the metal hooks with a plastic base that has solid glue on it. Heat it with a lighter, stick it, hold it for a minute, and it will only fall once dried when you or your drunken mate pulls it down in a passionate ordeal.

I picked up one last year in a shop at the top of the concrete ramp leading down to the underground fish gutting/imported goods section at Namdaemun. It was cheap.
