Application for South Korea Visa can be a bit eerie but don't waste much time thinking whether your Visa will be approved or not since it's just the people from the embassy who would know who gets to go to South Korea. Just complete the documents required, hope for the best and wait for the result. :)
Visa requirements vary for each type of individual. For a complete list, you may visit the Embassy's website.
