Korean prices use commas as thousand separators — 15,000원 means fifteen thousand won (roughly $11 USD), not fifteen won, so never misread the comma as a decimal point. Bargaining (흥정) is perfectly acceptable at traditional markets like Namdaemun and Dongdaemun but is considered rude at department stores, franchise outlets, and official merch shops.
