Korea Exchange Bank is located throughout Korea and provides a good rate. You can also get a reduction on their commission fee by visiting the KEB website at www.keb.co.kr and downloading/printing a coupon.

For the best exchange rates, try the old ladies in downtown Daegu. They have bags of US dollars. Just besure to check the notes. Damn funny money.
