My best recommendation for a book store in Seoul is "What the book"
http://www.whatthebook.com/

They carry foreign books and will likely be the best bet for any translated copies of Korean books.

In addition to what Dave said, I would also add the Kyobo Book Center in the Gwanghwamun-jum area of Seoul. I would post the website, but it is only in Korean. Also, you might try the book store in the COEX mall in Gangnam...it has quite a selection of foreign translations of Korean literature...or at least it did when I was there. Finally, you can try the both the main bookstore and the book store at the Korean Language Institute on Yonsei University campus. If they don't have what you are looking for, one of the English speaking staff there can tell you where in Seoul you could get it or even order it for you.

Also you're near the Jamsil subwaystation, you can visit Jamsil branch of Kyobo book center.
when you can give the title or author's name, then they can surf the database for you and show you the book if they already have in another branch of it..
