I was at Holy Family Hospital (성가병원) in Bucheon last week with my wife, getting a sonogram, and she was sent to have blood drawn. The waiting room we wound up in was basically a caged chicken away from being the bus station in Damyang.
Here's what the Damyang Bus Terminal looks like:
There's this, too:
Jeollanam-do is nice, and it always gets promoted by recruiters as a place where you can experience real Korean culture. I've come to understand that when Koreans talk about "culture" in these situations, they're really talking about "lots of old people." After all, Korean culture today is as much about cell phones, shopping, and coffee shops as it is about farming, fishing, and looking around whenever somebody says "외국인이다!" because you're hoping that means there's somebody nearby to talk to.
If you're interested in seeing a bus terminal that's really out there, go to the one in Danyang-eup, Danyang county, Chungcheongbuk-do. I think it was damaged in the war.
