What is worth doing with a 12-hour layover in Seoul?
It depends entirely on what you like, but you should first take into account that you should spend the last 2.5 hours getting back to the Airport and getting through security, especially if you are going to Incheon International (as opposed to Gimpo, which is a little closer to the city center). You should also take into account which hours and which days you are going to check what may be open or not.
If you like historical buildings, I would recommend going to Gyeongbokgung, which is the most impressive of Seoul's five palaces and the National Palace Museum there. This will probably take around 3 hours to see. If you wish to see the other palaces and/or Jongmyo Shrine, you are well-positioned to see them as well, but you may not have enough time.
If you like shipping and restaurants, I would recommend visiting Gangnam district which has lots of shopping and an incredible variety of Korean restaurants. (You can find restaurants anywhere in Seoul, but the more trendy ones are in Gangnam). This is also the namesake district of the famous Psy song "Gangnam Style" so that may be excitement in and of itself.
If you like Buddhist-style contemplation, Bongeunsa Buddhist Temple is almost always open for visiting and sometimes open for foreign visitor prayer.
If you like walking around outside, I would recommend Namsan Park, which encircles Namsan (the Southern Mountain). There is also Namsan Hanok Village in the park which is a recreation of what a Korean village would have looked like centuries ago.
If you want foreign (Non-Korean) food and entertainment, I would recommend Itaewon district, which is full of wonderful restaurants. (I personally like the Jordanian one, but my friends love the American grillhouses.)
If you are looking for accommodations, pretty much every district in Seoul is safe (there is practically no crime at all) and you should probably choose somewhere close to the district where you want to spend the night before going to sleep or close to Seoul Station to take the train back to the airport.
Korean bath houses are a wonderful experience. They include showers, hot and cold bath pools and a sauna. In some cases, they also include a steam room. The bath experience is usually conducted leisurely. A masseuse is also available to give a massage. But be prepared for a characteristic Korean experience--no towel 'protecting' your genitals. You will get rubbed all over--not in a sexual way, but with a casual disregard for the fact that you have a sexual organ. In short, expect to get brushed up against in the process of the massage.

Is there racism against Arabians in south Korea?
Sorry, but, yes.
Even if you were a member of Saudi Royal family, on the outside, Koreans would treat you as a king, but inside they would be sneering.
I am embarassed that my countrymen do this, though after meeting some of royal family, I would like to sneer in their royal face.
We are all human, but if you are arab, I hope you understand that sometimes racial ideas last much too longer than they should.
Korea is changing, and there are many in Korea who automatically think of foreigners as equals, but the country has been a closed one race country and though I would like to kick their asses, it will probably take time.

What is north Korea's main dress code?
From what I have observed western clothing is generally acceptable in North Korea with the exception of jeans. Risqué or any clothing that stands out is most likely also frowned upon.
In addition it should be noted that, while not an "official" law, men are not allowed to grow their hair beyond 5cm in length, with the exception of balding men who are allowed to grow their hair out to 7cm provided they use the extra hair to comb over the bald spot.
The list of accepted men's hairstyles in North Korea include; "flat-top crew cut", "middle hairstyle", "low hairstyle", and "high hairstyle".

Do Korean people like changing their name Why?
No. Most Koreans keep their names consistent throughout their lives. However, when dealing with Westerners, Koreans tend to use Western names since they realize that it is easier for Westerners to remember. For example, Donghun Lee (이동훈) might choose to use the English name "Donald" instead of "Donghun" when dealing with Westerners since it sounds similar and Westerners remember it more easily.
