Changes

Most were single men but once a woman stopped as well. Overall easy country to hitchhike through but being white definitely helped. Appearance matters A LOT in Korea. I always had a sign in Hangeul (the staff at petrol stations helped me write it everytime). Koreans are very friendly although many do not understand the concept of hitchhiking and people looking at you will not understand what you are doing. Best advice here is to '''have a sign in hangeul, look clean and make sure the spot is safe for them to pull over.''' '''contrary to what this page says I did not find that Koreans were very risk-taking, I had to change spots a lot because no one would stop if it was bad.'''

Google Map doesn't work much here. Just install KAKO map and to start hitchhiking just point out of city in the map, it gives you the best way to go by bus or metro and then you can enjoy hitchhiking. Toll gates are very good :)

Naver Maps and Daum Maps are the most detailed maps of Korea, but an offline map like Maps.Me can really help out as well.
