Palace Architecture
Luggage and bags: I have mainly used a small backpack or a carry-on size suitcase for my trips to Korea. When using the subway it is best to have a bag that is easy to carry up and down the stairs so I wouldn't recommend a large suitcase unless you are planning to get a taxi for your hotel-airport transfers.
Clothing/Shoes/Weather Gear: When I was in Korea in winter it was really cold! I bought a suitable jacket for a very reasonable price at Namdaemon Market so it wasn't necessary to bring one. You will also need a scarf, gloves and probably a hat too. In the spring the weather was very pleasant although it rained a little. A light jacket and an umbrella came in handy.
Korea is a shoppers paradise and anything you need that you may have forgotten can be bought here.
Toiletries and Medical Supplies: Everything can be bought in Korea very cheap.
