South Korea is covered by 70% mountain so why not take full advantage of this and go hiking. The routes are numerous and you can even take the subway to the start of many of the courses. I went nearly every weekend and it's how I made friends and was some of the best experiences I had in my year there. The mountains are amazing because they are nearly all steep, making for interesting hiking and many opportunities to climb. Bukhansan is a must, especially in winter when the peak is quiet and covered in snow.
