Gaby, the locals (not Koreans actually) who did in fact make a bouldering area in Daejeon are keeping it a secret. I may be able to find out, but if not then Seoul and Busan both have amazingly great bouldering areas and they are both only a few hours travel from Daejeon and have super cool bouldering crews who'd be stoked to have you pebble wrestle with them. SongniSaqn Mountain National Park and area (about 1.5hrs from Daejeon) also has some good bouldering places and there are many smaller places too.

the best bouldering in korea has yet to be discovered. let me know when you find it gaby.

...oh yeah, and if all goes well, there should be some new areas in a few weeks. a few of us are going to road trip around the country in search of the single best boulder problem in the world. god visited me in a dream and told me it existed in the land of the morning calm, but to find it i must first pry open my third eye with copious amounts of LSD, and run naked through the streets of busan. i dare not question it because god has spoken.

nice, sounds like a crew of real winners.

i understand keeping locations secret, but at least let people know who you are, and what you're doing. you don't have to disclose the location if you don't want to, but make an effort to check out some other stuff that has been and is being developed.

...or are they chipping holds and don't want anyone to know?
