It seems that there is a lot of conflicting information out there and no body knows the true story about who owes what to whom. following is an excerpt from an article from todays FT.

"South Korea, which will hold presidential elections on
Thursday, denies any danger of defaults on what it estimates as
$16.3bn in short-term debt due by the month's end. It says
foreign currency reserves of $10bn along with another $7.5bn
expected from the IMF rescue later this month will be
sufficient.

But its full exposure is unclear since most of the debt is in the
private sector and some of it is off-shore, which is not
included in Korea's official estimate of loans due this month.
Banks and companies account for 90 per cent of the nearly
$110bn in short-term debt due over the next year".
