Getting there
Save a Korean address and confirm the exact building entrance, not just a district name.
People & meetings
Treat a familiar industry contact as a person to verify, not as automatic clearance for a private meeting.
Where you stay
Keep your room and daily movements private. Verify unexpected visitors with the front desk or property manager using a contact you already trust.
Before you travel: official advice
Check local transport notices and keep away from demonstrations rather than trying to walk through them.
