Its not how much money u need to come here to live... the fact , how you gonna make money here and live in Korea...living in another country is a big challenge ..you need to get a good job as possibe as you can so that you would make a good life in Korea or of course , in another country. I wonder what can you do here for a living? if you graduate from university at least you can work as an English teacher here...there must be have good reasons to live in Korea other than make money anyways if then it wont be that difficoult i think ... for example if you like korean culture it will make you easier to adjustment to a new environment btw, this is what i read, according to OECD survey , Seoul is the top 5 highest expensive cost of living.. sorry for my bad English ... hope it helped ...

I wonder what made you pick South Korea of all places? It is a great country, I can't argue that, but just curious. Well, if you want to start a life there, it's going to take a lot of time and money. I would suggest visiting there first and really experience the culture and environment. See if you can really see yourself living there for a while, as it's hard to just pick up and leave and enter countries. Selecting a city you really like would be a good start. Then look for a job obviously, as it will be your source of income. Moving to another country in general will take a lot of guts cause you won't know anyone there. But you can also start networking; try finding people that live in the city you want to live in. There are actually a lot of foreigners that live in South Korea, you'd be surprised. People think just because they go to a foreign country, they can automatically become an english teacher. But the reality is that, there are a lot of procedures to be certified to be an english teacher, especially in South Korea, as they take their education very seriously. The certified english teachers are the actual english teachers that get paid good amounts. If you are not certified, or have a college degree, then you would be just a tutor or something of that sort at the most; nothing that will attract a steady income. Also, most people that had their studies in a regular public school, tend to fall behind and mostly fail out if they try their hand at education in South Korea. So I wouldn't recommend trying that unless you are very smart, and determined. South Korea's education programs are one of the most rigorous in the world. That is why most South Koreans are very intelligent, especially in subjects of math, science, language, etc. But a down side is that they don't focus on creativity and subjects of that sort. I'm half Korean half English, and did my studies in Seoul when I was in my pre-elementary years. Put it this way, I learned my multiplication and division by preschool, and fractions and decimals by first grade. But after I moved to the U.S., the expectations get lower, so it was a lot more relaxed and slower for me. But, I loved my education in the U.S. because it enabled me to touch on my creative sides more. Anyway, stopping my rant here. Good luck!
