Welcome to Seoul, Jake.  I'm a longtermer--just starting my tenth
year.  If you do electronic improv, there's a burgeoning scene.  Check
here:

Hope you can pick up some Korean quick :-)

There are also some free jazz related improv gigs connected to Alfred
harth, who lives here now:

Alfred was a longtime German improviser connected to Heiner Goebbels. 
he's now a member of Otomo Yoshihide's New Jazz Quintet, and also a
very nice neighbor.

Big hip hop techno scene in the Hongdae area.  Mill around and read
the posters or get someone to interpret them for you :-)

all the best
