From real experience

In South Korea, T-Money cards can be topped up with cash at any convenience store (CU, GS25).

Wowpass card machines for currency exchange and top-up are widely available, including 24/7 options in areas like Myeongdong (check the Wowpass app for locations). Exchange rates outside the airport, especially in popular tourist areas like Myeongdong, can often be more favorable than airport rates. Wowpass cannot be topped up online; only physical top-up at machines is possible. For Union Pay cards (e.g., RSKHB), it's possible to withdraw cash from ATMs (like Woori Bank) and then use the cash to load the Wowpass.
