Scams rotate by district and season. This is the current field guide for Myeongdong, Hongdae, and Itaewon, with the one sentence that ends each one.

Taxi

  • Refusing the meter / “fixed price” at tourist ranks: insist “미터기로 가주세요” (meter please) or get out. Use Kakao T so the route + fare are recorded.
  • Airport: only use the official taxi queue; ignore anyone approaching you inside the terminal offering a ride.

Money exchange & nightlife

  • Back-alley “better rate” exchange: short-counts or counterfeits. Use registered exchanges or ATMs; count before leaving the window.
  • Itaewon/Hongdae “juice bar” / hostess-bar bait: a friendly stranger leads you to a bar with a hidden cover charge that explodes on the bill. If a stranger insists on a specific bar, don’t go.
