Change SG. Supposedly money changers there convert all currency to usd first before krw.

That is not true, money changer at Myeongdong gives the yahoo finance rate, the best rate they can give. But maybe try to bring larger notes i.e. $50, as I think they pay lesser for small notes. However, the difference might not be very significant.
