There are some good choices there. I really enjoyed using pathfinder for the semester I studied at 이대.

It's been a real long time since I had looked at ugly Koreans - ugly americans I forgot I owned it. I do think it is a little dated and some of the info in it was wrong back in 1997, but overall a good book.

I think you forgot Culture Shock: Korea, which I found useful - though slightly inaccurate when I first came to Korea.
