Old Thread But...
Should anyone be looking for information regarding this, it turns out that Germans can drive in Korea, the license is not a problem. What you are not allowed is to take your vehicle in and drive that. We wanted to ship our bikes from Korea and we heard so much conflicting information (especially since Patrick had his German registered motorcycle in Korea 6 years ago without any problems except for the highway) that we finally wrote the ADAC and the embassy to figure out what the truth was. (We were in contact with Wendy Choi who said she can not ship our bikes as they are not allowed in Korea).
Both wrote back saying that the problem is the vehicles themselves. If you are lucky you get to go through like Patrick did last time. If you are not you have a customs official who will not let you in. So we have decided against taking that chance. But I hope that helps someone else should they be in teh same situation!
