Seems like most hobby shops outside of the capital city have been closing. There used to be three within walking distance of my house. All gone. I was buying stuff from Hong Kong. I recently visitied the shop below. Amazing (for Korea). Five or six kinds of paint like Vallejo, Tamiya acrylics, Mr. Hobby, Gunze. Piles of tools, airbrushes, glues, varnishes, masking putty. The only things I didn't see were MIG products. Especially washes and powders. Also tons of models from all major manufacturers.

They also have a huge selection of things for other hobbies as well.

If you need your creative fix I recommend this place. The guy speaks English as well.

Sindorim Station, Technomart, 5th floor.

Any electronics stuff like breadboards and circuit components? I didn't see anything on the website, nor anywhere else I've looked in Korea.

This place near Apgujeong is also fantastic. The selection of models and paint is great, if you speak enough Korean the owner is very helpful answering questions about painting techniques etc., and the prices are great as well. Much cheaper than buying at bigger toy retail stores in Seoul, about 80% of standard cost.
