Never try before but should be able to... just use your YouTrip 4 digit pin for withdrawal... but must be those ATM that shows the Mastercard sign.

Anyway... YouTrip is very widely accepted in Korea... from convenience shops to retail shops to restaurants... They dun seems to implement minimum amount for using cards... even those vending machine that stamp imprints of landmarks on copper coins also can use YouTrip... I go Diaso print some stickers the machine also can use YouTrip...

Only place that reject my YouTrip card is payment for the DMZ admission and car rental...

Just back from Seoul this morning
Last check (27/2 ~1030am) at the money changer next to China embassy at myeongdong is 968

I shall use my trustbank cc when I am in Korea and change some money there too.

we are going straight to Busan via Seoul Station from Incheon, so no chance to change at those popular ones at Myeongdong.

anyone know anywhere to get similiar good rates in Seoul Station or near Busan Station?

also is there admin fee when exchanging there?

What about using Trust Card?
Any extra fees levied?

am wondering which will be better? Getting KRW via Trust Card ATM withdrawal or via money exchange?

Could it be better as compared to withdrawing from ATMs using Trust Card, if you or any one here have the experience?

I have never tried using Trust card to withdraw from ATM.
I think there should be a bank admin fee when using a foreign card to withdraw money from the local ATMs.

I was charged 3600 KRW (local ATM fee) for withdrawing 700,000 KRW at a Shinhan Bank ATM in Jeju, and another 0.5% admin fee (3522.62 KRW) from my bank.
