Seoul - about 6hrs flight from KL n if you book your flight really early, it is about RM2,200 for return flight fare.

"And this is what I love about Seoul: its diversity" Hubert added. One moment you can be in the Muslim world, and literally 20 minutes later, you can be sipping a cup of Du Kang (traditional Chinese liquor). Seoul really is everything to everyone." http://english.seoul.go.kr/today/infocus/specialreport/1215128_5093.php

“According to the Korea Muslim Federation, there are about 120,000 to 130,000 Muslims living in South Korea, both Koreans and foreigners. The majority of the Muslim population is made up of migrant workers from Pakistan and Bangladesh, but the number of Korean Muslims amounts to some 35,000.”

“....Korean Muslims feel it is difficult to make other people understand why they cannot eat pork. Sung Ju-young (25) said his friends think he is allergic to pork and his body rejects alcohol because he cannot hang out with his friends for pork and soju dinner. Asked if he fasts even during Chuseok, or Korean Thanksgiving, Kim Gwon-young (49) said, “The principle is to fast even during the Chuseok holidays, but if exceptional circumstances do not allow me to do so, I count the number of days, and personally go on a fast for the number of days I missed after Ramadan.” http://english.chosun.com/w21data/html/news/200809/200809110016.html
