I read some where on here that foriegners don't have to pay an exit tax. I'm booking a flight with whypaymore and there is a tax of roughtly 92k won. Would this happen to be the tax I don't have to pay? I'm asking because their system seems to be setup for predominatly korean customers.

That's the sales tax on the flight, not the exit tax.

If I remember correctly, the exit tax is only 10,000, but we don't have to pay it.

Foreigners are exempted from paying the (10k won ) airport departure tax, regardless of visa status.
