For everyday spending in South Korea, the 10,000 KRW note (around €6.50) is the most commonly used: food courts, transport, small shops. The 50,000 KRW note is suitable for purchases in shops, restaurants and supermarkets. Keep a few 1,000 and 5,000 KRW notes for vending machines, K-pop merchandise sold at kiosks and small street purchases.
The South Korean won (ISO 4217 code: KRW, symbol ₩) is the official currency of the Republic of South Korea since 1962, managed by the Bank of Korea. The won has no subunit: all transactions are in whole won. Its high face value (1 EUR ≈ 1,400–1,600 KRW depending on the period) means everyday amounts run into the tens or hundreds of thousands.
South Korea has become a major tourist destination in France, driven by the Hallyu wave (K-pop, K-dramas, K-beauty, Korean cuisine). Seoul, Busan, Jeju island, Gyeongju and national parks attract an increasing number of French visitors every year. Despite very high penetration of electronic payments in Korean cities, cash is still needed at traditional markets (Namdaemun, Gwangjang), street-food stalls and some local transport.
