Here are some links to bus timetables, provided by the websites of each city and county in Jeollanam-do. Some places haven't posted information. Some haven't posted complete information, or have posted destinations but not times. And most will require you to navigate Korean webpages. URLs for the pages seem to change pretty frequently, so let me know of any dead links.
For information on express buses, you can check this website in Korean or in English. It's useful for getting times between cities, or to figure out what time the buses run from Seoul to your county, although it doesn't offer information for all destinations. You can also play with the timetable on the Nambu Terminal (남부터미널) site, but again it's incomplete for some reason.
Boseong county has no information online.
Damyang county has an intercity bus timetable, but only for Seoul and Incheon. Route information, but not times, on local buses is available here.
Gangjin county has a timetable for select local buses.
Goheung county has a timetable for both intercity and local buses.
Gokseong county has a timetable for both intercity and local buses.
Gurye has a timetable for both intercity and local buses.
Gwangju has a timetable for its city buses. The excellent U-Square terminal in Gwangju has timetables on its website.
Gwangyang city has timetables for both intercity and local buses. Pay close attention, because there are two bus terminals in Gwangyang.
Haenam county has route information for intercity buses, but not a timetable. There is a timetable for local buses.
Hampyeong has timetables for both intercity and local buses.
Hwasun has no information online, and has one of the most ridiculously uninformative county websites I've ever seen.
Jangheung county has timetables for both intercity and local buses.
Jangseong county has timetables for both intercity and local buses.
Jindo county has timetables for both intercity and local buses.
Mokpo has no information online.
Muan county can't encode its page properly, so I won't bother sifting through the gibberish.
The city of Naju has timetables for both intercity and local buses.
Shinan is comprised entirely of islands, but there is information about local buses. It's accessible via Mokpo and Muan.
[UNDER CONSTRUCTION] Suncheon has a timetable for intercity buses. It also has route information for city buses, though not every route listed has a map or timetable. There's also a timetable for buses to the Yeosu Airport.
Wando county has timetables for both intercity and local buses.
Yeongam has timetables for both intercity and local buses.
At the bottom of this page, Yeonggwang county has times for buses to Seoul, Incheon, Seongnam, and Anyang.
Yeosu has timetables for both intercity and local buses.

This is an awesome resource to have. Thanks, Brian, for taking the time to compile the list. It's going in my favorites and on delicious as soon as I finish this comment.
This is really useful! Thanks!
(clicked on the wrong comment button, before)
I just added Gurye because I forgot to put it on last night. Nobody noticed I forgot Gurye?!?!?! How unqualified!
Where is Gurye by the way?? hehe. Thanks Brian for this. This helps a lot
Thanks, this is great to have.
More information for information's sake: I've found this site to be helpful and mostly accurate...

It's not schedules but does have the types of buses between two places (for searches i've done, i've found it lists all intercity buses, not just express buses like the page says), the fare, and the duration of the trip. You also get to test your Korean geography in the dropdown menus, as you have to know which province a town is in. Oh and it always tells you how to get to an airport in the results window; scroll down for bus info.
And here's pictures of a tiemtable in Namwon, just across the jeollanamdo border...

This is the Gwangju bus site, it has a good route search and map but it is all in Korean but is easy enough to figure out the basics.
One problem I have is that in order to view the hangul text on the map it has to be viewed on a hangul version of windows.
Thanks, I'm going to add it.
Another thing I have to edit is the sites for Suncheon and Gwangju. They recently redid the USquare site, and somehow incorporated Suncheon, so the intercity bus information is no longer on the Suncheon site. Problem is, I can't get the encoding to work properly on the new site, and I can't figure out how to get information on buses LEAVING Suncheon or Gwangju. Thus defeating the purpose of a schedule in the first place.
Anyway, thanks again for the visit and the addition.
Going through fixing some old links on my site. This was a very important post . . . until it became obsolete something like two weeks later.
17 of the 25 external links here are broken. :(
