The worst aspect of the game, by far, was the rake. They were dropping over $15 (15,000 Korean won) PER HAND. This is in a $5/$10 game !

Yeah, there are other casinos in Korea, and Koreans can play at casinos in certain areas, but not seoul.

Until other casinos start spreading poker, this one will have no motivation to reduce the rake.

There's no tipping in Korea, and I assume nobody is tipping the dealer after being stung for a $15 rake.

What casino are you talking about? I am going there next month. I want to find a place to play there. The closest casino to me will be Seven Luck.

Anyone know if they have poker?

Seven Luck doesn't spread poker yet, but I've heard that they will be opening a poker room in the near future.

Note that the rake at Walker-hill will be reduced during the APPT (http://www.appt.com/tournaments/seoul/).
