Go to the embassy website for Americans in Korea. It will list several hospitals with foreign friendly clinics. They can probably help you. I go to St. Mary's Catholic Hospital in Gangnam, Seoul for my medical needs. They understood that I have allergies to certain medications and did not force antibiotics on me when I had the flu since antibiotics do nothing to kill the flu. Medical care is pretty good here. You just need to find someone you are comfortable with. Just make sure your job offers national insurance, which will cover you to a certain point if you have to go to the hospital. If they do not offer humira here, ask your doctor to give you a year's worth prescription. You can bring it with you in your suitcase.
