The itinerary for our self-guided Korea Slow Trip, which fatefully coincided with the start of the COVID-19 coronavirus outbreak in Korea, was optimized multiple times before arriving at the final version below:
Day 01: Incheon Airport - Gimpo Airport - Jeju Island
Day 02: Jeju Island - West Coast (Rental Car)
Day 03: Jeju Island - East Coast (Rental Car)

Day 08: Seoul
Day 09: Seoul - Namhansanseong - Seoul
Day 10: Seoul - Suwon - Seoul
Day 11: Seoul - Jeonju - (Rental Car) Boseong - Naganeupseong
Day 12: Seonamsa - Suncheon - Naganeupseong (Rental Car)

Day 14: Jeonju
Day 15: Jeonju - Shopping Day at Incheon
Day 16: Incheon - Incheon Airport
In case you're already wondering why we missed Gyeongju and the southeast, we had to entirely skip Gyeongsangbuk-do due to the COVID-19 outbreak. In fact we were scheduled to arrive in Gyeongbuk the day my home country (Canada) issued a travel advisory against Daegu and the surrounding areas, and we had to quickly change our plans, mid-trip, to spend more time in Seoul before hitting Jeollanam-do and the southwest instead, ending with the 16-day itinerary above.
Our postponed visit to the southeast, to be completed at a latter date, is tentatively planned as follows:
Day 17: Arrive at Gimhae
Day 18: Gimhae - Busan
Day 19: Busan
Day 20: Busan - Gyeongju
Day 21: Gyeongju
Day 22: Gyeongju - Daegu - (Rental Car) Haeinsa - Pohang
Day 23: Pohang - Yangdong - Hahoe
Day 24: Hahoe
Day 25: Hahoe - Andong
Day 26: Andong - Daegu (Return Rental Car) - Seoul
Day 27: Seoul
Day 28: Seoul - Incheon Airport
