Answer

1 Indian Rupee equals approximately 16-17 South Korean Won (KRW). Conversely, 1,000 Korean Won equals roughly ₹60-65 INR. South Korea's currency is weaker per unit than the rupee, but this doesn't indicate economic strength Korea's per capita GDP far exceeds India's. For travelers, this exchange rate means Korean prices appear high numerically (a meal might cost 10,000-15,000 won), but in rupee terms it's reasonable (₹600-900). When visiting Korea, use cards or withdraw local currency from ATMs for better rates than airport exchanges.
