I was in Seoul a few weeks ago and my tri-band GSM handset couldn't find any network. There may be GSM coverage somewhere, but it certainly doesn't make itself easy to find.

KT seem to have a large pile of agreements in place with GSM operators. Microcell send me a flyer not long ago which said that you could rent a CDMA handset at the airport suitable for use with one of their SIMs for $1.50 per day (Canadian dollars).
