***Electronic Stores in Korea***
shop.icbank.com
These sites are in Korean language and most of them sell via mail. I myself, HL1FB, use www.eleparts.co.kr often to buy parts by mail. It takes about 5 days to arrive by mail. You may need help from someone who understands Korean language to order parts.
About 500m west of metro line #1 Guro station, you will find a complex of four story buildings (중앙유통단지 see photo). On the ground floor there are many shops that sell industrial supplies. These include motors, wires, tools, bolts and nuts, etc. On the second and third floor there are a few hundred shops that sell all kind of new electronic parts. I believe this is the largest electronic parts market in Korea.
There are many electronic part stores at the basement(B1) of ETLAND(전자랜드) in Seoul.
To visit there exit gate #5 of metro line #4 Sinyongsan(신용산) station.
As soon as you exit, go straight 300m through an underpass. As you exit the underpass, look left direction.
About 300m away you will see the ETLAND. On your right direction, there is a building(선인상가) with many computer parts stores and a few ham shops on the ground floor triangle-shaped parking area.
You can buy ICs, resistors, capacitors, tools, cables, connectors, etc at the basement floor of the ETLAND.
Dongshin Electronics(www.ds-parts.co.kr), store number B11 & B18 of ETLAND basement has many electronic parts.
This is an one-stop shopping place for small electronics projects. Many students come here to buy parts for kits.
Upstairs of the ETLAND there are many electronic product stores.
At metro 'Jongno 3-ga' station (metro line #1 and #3 crossing), exit gate #12 and proceed(east) about 200 meters, you will see a building written 'Marketcity Sewoon' on your right. The building is an electronic market and on the left and right side of it you will find two more electronc department stores facing Cheonggae-chun street. At and around these department stores you will find many small shops with tools, coax cables, connectors, switching mode power supplies and electronic parts new and used.
http://kj-junpa.com in Seoul has RF connectors and cables. You may call them in Korean and order online or you may visit them.
They have two stores, one in Jongno 3ga and another at Yongsan electronic market, ETLAND basement(store number A65).
http://www.connecter.com/ is another place you can order connectors by phone. They are located at Guro-gu in Seoul.
TMS RF Co., Ltd is the official distributor of Times Microwave who makes the popular LMR series cables.
They sell LMR400 cable at 2900KRW($2.60USD) per meter. They also have other types of coaxial cables.
You may visit or call them in Korean and deposit into their account and asked them to send to you by parcel post.
