1,000 US Dollar to South Korean Won today

$1,000 USD converts to about ₩1,380,000 KRW at today's mid-market rate. $1,000 in South Korea covers roughly a week of sightseeing for one. It pays for mid-range hotel nights in Seoul, daily meals out, subway and intercity KTX travel, and several attractions, with a little room for shopping. Costs are notable but below Japan's, so this is a comfortable week's holiday budget rather than a tight one for a single traveller. 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.
