Road bike for sale. 120k won.
This is a Giant brand, model Speeder LX.
Quick release thin 700c wheels, 12 speed, I think. Most parts are aluminum/alloy, except the frame, which is steel. Still, a fairly light bike.
Comes with rear rack, bike computer, and a u-lock.
The frame size seems to be around 18 or 19 inches. It's a bit small
for me (I'm 5' 11"), hence the seat is fully extended. For anyone 5' 10" and shorter, it would be perfect.

I rode this bike last July from the Han River in Seoul down nearly to Busan. Of course it's not as nice as a classic Reynolds 531 frame, but it is durable and a lot better than a mountain bike for most riding situations here.

I'm near Samsung Station (near coex)

Where are the shifters? Are they STI (in the brake lever)? Looks like they are mounted on the handlebar stem, true? What kind of brakes does it have?

yep, stem mounted shifters.
The brakes are standard alloy caliper brakes with racing-position levers. However, the previous owner added an extra set of mtn bike style levers (connected directly to the brake cables, not "extension style") on the top bar for more upright riding.
