Recommend a visit to the world cup stadium and surrouding parks. Also the Seoul tower is worth a trip with 360 degree views over the whole city. Take the cable car to the summit for spectacular views of the city.
Dongadeum market has to be seen to be believed - amazing number of stall/shops and street vendors selling everything one could want.

Seoul is great, clean . Very friendly locals
Amassing markets, a fist to the eyes.
Be ware that the Metro doesn't have escalators.

Korea is a safe place to visit in spite of current world events. However, it is not a cheap destination, and one should have a fairly decent budget if Korea is your choice. Would not recommend subway transportation as this can be confusing and sometimes dangerous. Make sure that the hotel you book has free shuttle services to several places you want to visit because that will take a little of the sting out of all those taxi fares.

I only had a day for site-seeing. I would strongly recommend Insa-Dong and the Nam-Dae-Mun market for those interested in shopping and experiencing local culture. We visited the palace but because of the restorations, it was not as good as it could be. Nam San tower was a good way to get an impressive view of the city.
I would recommend that guests be advised of the subway system. It's very good but requires some knowledge to use it well. The one confusing thing for me was the exit tunnel system. You have to know the exit numbers to get to your final destination as you cannot cross streets on the surface in many locations. Guests should be aware of this fact.
