100 US Dollar to South Korean Won today

$100 USD converts to about ₩138,000 KRW at today's mid-market rate. $100 in South Korea is a comfortable day for a visitor in Seoul. It covers several Korean meals and street food, subway and bus fares, a café stop and entry to a palace or museum. Seoul is moderately priced for a major city, so a single day of eating and sightseeing fits easily, though it will not cover a hotel night. The US dollar is the world's reserve currency and the benchmark most international prices are quoted against. It is also the most common target for this conversion, since so much trade and so many transfers settle in dollars. The South Korean won is the currency of a major export economy — semiconductors, cars, ships — so its value tracks the global technology cycle and chip demand closely. The Bank of Korea targets inflation and the won floats, but it stays sensitive to the US dollar, risk sentiment and tensions on the peninsula. The other way round, ₩1 KRW buys about $0.0007246 USD today.
