You're gonna buy a new phone, but you're only staying here a month?

I know you can rent phones from booths in the airport. Not sure how much they charge, but if you absolutely can't function without a phone for a month, that might be your best option.

You can rent a phone at the airport that takes your SIM, but don't. They're rubbish and miss calls all the damn time.

You can also rent a not-quite-as-crappy-and-actually-functional phone with service. No texts - voice only. KTF and SK charge the same for rental - 3k per day - and internal calls on both are 600 / min. You'll need to check the respective websites for international calls.
