Muslim residing and visiting Korea, always thought it is hard to eat in Korea.
One of the reason is most Korean dishes contain pork meat.
What is Halal?
Halal derived from Arabic word, meaning legal.
In Islam, there are permissible and non-permissible food to consume.
One example of permissible food, meat need to be slaughtered with proper method.
Another example of non-permissible food is pork, regardless it's slaughtered properly or not.

Actually there are few halal restaurant around Korea, and Itaewon have one street full of Halal restaurant..
Not only restaurant, there is mosque, Islamic center and even book store all next to each other.
I could not recall how many restaurants are there, probably near dozen.
Halal fresh meat next to the mosque.
Mosque in Itaewon
One of halal restaurant
Is this NK mart? Judging by the flag symbol
How to go there?
Exit from Itaewon subway exit 3.
Turn left and go straight until you see a traffic light.
Cross the traffic light, walk until you find Mr Kebab.
At the end of Mr Kebab row, you will see road below on your right side, heading up hill.
Walk straight and you will pass foreign food mart on your right side.
Straight ahead some more, until you see a junction on your left after a saloon and hand phone shop.
The path is going up hill again.
That road is full of halal food.
To find the mosque, it's on the right side at the end of shop rows.
