Are Shimano parts much cheaper in South Korea?

Quick question - I'm going to Korea (Busan, via Seoul) for work - does anyone know how much cheaper bike bits are there?

I'm putting my first self-build together and am pretty set on Campag - but I am curious if there'd be a big saving on a Shimano Ultegra/DA groupset if bought out there?

    Im not too sure on prices, but you might get stung with customs and VAT when you come back.

    I wouldn't have thought so with the current exchange rate. They were no cheaper in Japan when my daughter went there over a month ago.
