Additionally, somewhere I saw it mentioned that South Korea widely accepts Diner's Club/Discover Credit cards without foreign transaction fees.
Most major banks will have one ATM that will take International cards in Seoul within each branch. Also from work perspective I would really suggest you reading up on Korean business culture if you've never done business in Asia before as things work very differently across the Pacific. Getting into the city you might want to think about the AREX and then a cab over the Limo bus as depending where you're staying it could be faster.
