Considering a move to South Korea. Any tips from fellow U.S. expats?

I’ve been considering this move for a while, and with the recent elections, it feels like the right time. I’m starting with South Korea—it seems safe, and I know the food is amazing. Has anyone else made a similar move? I’d appreciate any advice you have!

The conditions don't seem to be as good as they once were. That's my take on it anyways.

In South Korea, Google Maps doesn’t support car navigation, so apps like Naver Map might be a better option!
