International driving permit
Whether your permit works here, and for how long.
Bring the permit with you. Korean law lets a holder of an international driving permit drive for one year from the day of entry, and only the vehicle classes written on that permit. The permit must come from the 1949 Geneva convention, the 1968 Vienna convention, or a mutual recognition agreement with Korea.

Where you may not park
Where the law says you may not stop or park.
Article 32 of the Road Traffic Act lists the places where you may not stop or park. One of those is simply any place the metropolitan or provincial police commissioner has designated, so a local sign can create a no-parking spot that is not on any national list. Read the sign.
