I would HIGHLY recommend going. Seoul and Busan was freaking incredible. South Korea was my favorite place ever to visit. Also, the USD to Won is strong now, so it's cheap there. The food was SUPER cheap. Michelin star bowl of ramen was $7 USD. Sit down BBQ was $20 USD including beer. And the best thing about Seoul as a foreigner is almost everyone speaks some English. The younger adults are quite fluent. Whereas, I was surprised that hardly anyone in Japan seemed to speak English.

I've been UNDER the DMZ in a tunnel they dug back in the day, it's big enough for a Tank to drive through! It's a tourist attraction now. You sound like you cower in your bunker a lot, I'm sure you would have bone spurs if our Draft ever got reinstated..
And YES, you can leave your laptop and phone on the table at a coffee shop and go to the restroom, they will be there when you get back.
Edit: Just realized Air Premia was brought up in the details. In any case, they're a good alternative. They're a hybrid airline where you get free checked bags and meals, but you have to pay for snacks and drinks (only water and coffee are free for economy passengers).
Also, the exchange rate is great right now, most of the world has had way worse inflation than the US, so the dollar is STRONG!

I was in Seoul last August and it's an oven. But the nightlife is great so it's manageable.
Impossible for most Americans to tell the difference without talking to them..
