Yeah, I meant by if she can get in, is that if she has an e-passport. I'm not entirely sure if US citizens are required to have e-passports (with the electronic chip) to enter Korea without a visa.
The reason I bring this up is because I had to deal with a fiasco involving my in-laws. Korean citizens visiting the U.S. must have e-passports to enter the U.S. without a visa, which was something I overlooked and resulted in my father-in-law getting left behind in Seoul for a few days before getting a new e-passport.
Anyway, I'd just make sure.
