South Korea is one of the most law abiding countries in Asia, leaving foreigners to the country, both men and women, feeling safe even at night. Koreans are interested in you but not aggressive in nature. As friends who have lived and traveled throughout Korea for over 3 years we can honestly say that we never felt threatened.
At times Koreans may stop and stare, however this is not meant to intimidate you, it's simply because they find you intriguing and are interested in your appearance, culture and attitudes. It is not unusual for Koreans to offer you food or drinks at a bar or restaurant in order to hear you speak and practice their English.
