Im back in Seoul in a few weeks time with a few weeks spare for going somewhere else in the region. Im after cheap flights to somewhere I havent been already, ideally Taiwan or the Phillipines, maybe Malaysia or Indonesia. Can anyone advise me on how to get cheap flights from Seoul? My Korean isnt great, so preferably a web-site or an english-speaking travel agent? Any ideas mucho appreciated!

Top Travel in Jongno (building next to WHOau, opposite YMCA) has a very helpful woman who speaks great English, and is usually to be found on the first desk straight ahead as you go in the door. Alternatively, get a copy of the Korea Herald, and there are loads of adverts for travel agents, most of which are in Itaewon, and will speak English. I've used Xanadu Travel before now, and they were fine too. A couple of years ago a return from Seoul to Taipei cost me about 400,000 Won (400USD), but that was pretty short notice, so you can probaly get it a lot cheaper.

Korea is a bad place for cheap flights but you can also check Cebu Pacific(Phills carrier) or if you are living in Korea, sometimes Korean air has specials on their Korean-English website, you need an ARC card to book it online though.
