If one follows Korean customs, there is kimchi virtually as part of every dish. BBQed meat is eaten with grilled kimchi, raw fish accompanied by kimchi, the soups and stews often include the same ingredient...
The Japanese food is, however, of such high standard, and sometimes with an interesting Korean twist (like the sashimi bibimbap at the Millenium Hilton), that I would genuinely recommend trying that as an alternative.
Some of the higher end Italian food is also spectacular, French I think Japanese and Chinese chefs understand better. Chinese food in Korea is often from Fujian province and can be very tasty as well, with an emphasis on seafood dishes.
