Im about to leave in late may for a job and considering how much won i could get for dollars, im wondering if it's beneficial to do so right now since it will get me more won to start off. I figure the won has been strengthening the last month and would continue to do so before i left.

Should i wait and do the exchange at ICN in late May or try to take advantage of the exchange rate (from the won perspective) now?

That said, anybody know of a good institution back in the states to get a good rate?

Can't answer as my crystal balls are not working at this time. You just gotta have the balls to take the risk by going on gut instinct. I think I'd hold off on buying dollars, but that's just my opinion.

I seriously doubt if a finance professional could give you any more insight than this either as their crystal balls are knocked out of alignment due unprecidented unpredictab market dynamics.
