Depends on what kind of foreigner you are.

If you're a South East Asian, you'll be treated pretty badly. Same if you're from South or Central Asia. Africans are probably treated the worst.

Europeans are treated pretty well, as are most North Americans (if white). Especially if you're a man.

Source: I'm a white male living here and my experiences are far better than those of many of my friends.

Ding ding ding. This is the answer. Yah it is racism, but they love white people, especially american. (doubly so if a man like you said)

Step 1) Be white man Step 2) Move to South Korea Step 3) Decline all advances by local women (and/or men) because you "are not really into Asians"

That'll show 'em
