You can get it from in-country, that's where I get mine and it is made here by LG (or at least packaged by them). Hold on, I'll get you some links.

This is the vendor I use for my VG/PG. They will also throw some flavors in as well. I've tried the lemon flavor, it is on the money BUT I have no earthly idea what's in it so I do not use it.

Thanks Ryan ...no disrespect but I think I'd rather stick to USP grade liquids. Ameliquid has some cheap liquid (made in Korea) but again it doesn't state USP grade. I dont know if I'm being too over-cautious. Its a little hard for me to navigate the Korean but it appears that its only PG, I don't see any VG. Thanks again!
There is VG and PG in that link, all of it is 98.8%. You'll be hard pressed to find "USP grade" which is made in Korea, because USP is an American rating.
To each their own. You can buy half a liter for $4 there, or pay out the wazoo having it shipped from the 'States. USP grade means practically nothing, it's just an American way of saying "it's THIS pure". Some is 99.5%, some is 98.8%, some is 100% (that means there is no guarantee of anything just because it is USP grade). Usually the lower concentrations are just cut with water anyway.
If you want Food Grade 99% with 1% water you can go with the more expensive LG stuff here:

There is a post around here somewhere by a pharmacist dealing with USP stuff. If you read it, beware the American hype. I'm American but it really comes off as "If it isn't American, it isn't made to standard, therefore if it isn't USP grade, it isn't made how you want it" and really that just isn't true. Most VG comes from the same general sources per country as it isn't very cost effective to have lots of glycerin manufacturing plants around. Glycerin is cheap and readily available, therefore nobody is exactly fighting to open their own glycerin production plants. lol
Trying to cancel my order with TFA, hopefully since it hasn't shipped yet. What peeves me is that there is no way to cancel online. I have sent emails two different ways and hopefully one will get through in time.
Looks like I am pretty late to this party but if you're looking for serious bulk, ESfood actually has some really good PG and VG which is not cheaper than that Gmarket guy for small quantities but under 20,000 (including delivery) gets you 1kg of each (I forget my calculations but a bit over 900ml I think each)...
I found the link a while back on some Korean e-cig user's blog and ESFood even has some notes in their forums / Q&A sections that it is safe for vaping (and I myself have been using them for 2 years). They also have flavors (oil and non-oil based but I've given up on playing with them... I am satisfied with Lorann's from ebay).
PG: [ES
VG: [ES
It is a pain in the .... to sign up for a membership at ESfood but if you want the dirt-cheap price, it's totally worth it.
And in a pinch, you can get 50g of glycerine (say it's for your gf's hair if they get weird) from a pharmacy for 1000 won (a bit milky-looking but vapes fine).

Thanks dark poet...I've managed to register with the english site but they dont appaear to have glycerin listed. On the Korean side they do but it takes me to naver when I want to purchase. The English site you can use paypal.

I bought 2 500ml bottles of VG and PG off G-market the other day, with a free bottle of flavor thrown in for about 9,000 won.
But buying flavours separately within the country seems to be a hidden challenge only known among the cig-shops who don't wanna lose out on selling their mixed bottles for 30,000 won upwards.
