I haven't lived in Korea but I've beem there twice for a month and spent a lot of time with Koreans (friends and "randm" adults) in Brussels.
I know some of them don't like foreigners, but they usually "love" me because I know a lot about the culture and can talk to them in Korean (for most adults, it's the first time they spoke to a white guy)
Foreigners who speak the local language fluently will certainly have a better time than those who don't. Even if you aren't fluent, they'll at least be happy that you're trying. Also, you'll have a much better experience in cities like Busan or Seoul than in the rural areas for a variety of reasons.
If you spend time around English-speaking Koreans, you'll also have a more satisfying experience because they have already shown an interest in western culture and getting foreign friends. Your average local will not be as open-minded. Plus, they can help you with any trouble you may have with locals who do not speak English.

U're so gullible it's amazing. Next, you're going to tell me Korea has 4 seasons, does your country have for 4 season?
Wait, I have more. Korean people can't get Swine flu, Kimchi makes them immune. H ah ahha lol they believe this stuff, it's on the news!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I felt you were a little off-kilter based on your previous posts, but you might be outright crazy.
Earlier I was poking at phils for being a grammar Nazi, but your post is just shameful.

By the way, why do you stay in a country you hate that much ?
I believe that people who do this are extremely insecure. I see it from some foreigners in China. They stay here almost exclusively to complain and bash the country they chose to live just so that they feel superior to others. If they went to a country where there was little to complain about, they would lose their sense of superiority over the population.
