Do you want actual Korean food or "korean-style" food that is Americanized and easier for Western tastes?

I recommend the latter because Korean food is all about salty and spicyness. Foreigners wouldn't like it. Also, besides bulgogi and some meat dishes, Korean food is 95% vegetarian. I only eat meat about once a week and I'm not a vegan or anything like that; Korean food is just vegetables.

>Korean food is just vegetables

No. They eat a lot of vegetables, but a lot of seafood, too. Beef of course, is a luxury item.

>foreigners don't like true korean food

Lol, emphatically false. Maybe for the average amerifat who's diet consists of bland garbage, HFCS and fastfood, yes. But not for others.

In my experience foreigners from all corners of the world couldn't stand the extremely salty/spicy foods and they couldn't understand the concept of eating side dishes (banchan) with rice. They just complain that the side dishes are too spicy and salty without eating them with rice (that's the whole point).

Sorry for the condescending tone; I don't mean to be, but it's just the way things are.

Also, seafood depends on region. Seafood isn't as central to our cuisine as Japanese cuisine for example.

Also, you don't have to be stubborn and force yourself to like "genuine" foreign foods. There is no shame in making them weaker to suit your own tastes. Just follow your taste, friend.

There were some foreign friends in college that really liked fermented/salty Korean food, but they are few and far between.

Usually I helped them tone down the salt/spice and they like the food more.
