If you want to change money, it is suggested that the money exchange office should be considered first, and then ATM withdrawal should be considered. Other ways of changing money are not cost-effective and are not recommended.

There are many money exchange offices in Korea, and there are also many money exchange offices in Myeongdong. You can check the location information by searching for "Myeongdong Currency Exchange Office" on the map of Hanyou.
