Currently, 1000 South Korean won = 1.05700 U.S. dollars

1000 won is the lowest note, like the US dollar bill and spends like one. So the dollar's weaker.

But anyone actually been to Korea lately? I want to know what the actual buying power of 1000 won is like.

1. How much is a bowl of jajang myun eaten at a restaurant? (i remember it was like 2000 won back in 1992).

2. How much is a pack of cigarettes?

3. Bus fare?

Thanks.
