Are there some places I can stay for free in South Korea besides couch surfing?

I never used them but I know a few people who always stayed in a Jjimjilbang while travelling in Korea. They’re not free but they’re usually pretty cheap.

Edit: I jumped the gun with this answer. It doesn’t really suit your purpose but it could be useful for someone looking for a cheap night in Seoul or Busan.

WorldWide Opportunities on Organic Farms (WWOOF) is the only way I know of to stay for free somewhere other than couch surfing. This might be what the Romanian you met used. I’m not familiar with Korea’s program specifically, and all WWOOF farms vary depending on the host, but they may be able to help you arrange free accommodations and meals in exchange for you helping out on a farm for 4-6 hours per day.

Note: I have never actually planned a trip through WWOOF, and there is a fee to register (only registered members can access the list of host farms), but it’s worth a shot.

Alternatively, you may be able to do some web searching on your own and contact farms directly. That may be trickier, though, since you wouldn’t be going through a vetted organization.
