I want to know what is the best gift according to the culture in Korea. I don't want to make any mistake since there are some different cultures and customs exist.

Well... Start off with a card that says "새해 복 많이 받으세요" (Hope you have good luck in the new year).
I think anything is fine for a new year's gift, what does your professor like? I'm Korean, but I haven't heard of anyone giving gifts for people besides their family during New Years. If you were to give a gift, it still depends on individual tastes. Perhaps a food gift? Like a small pastry or dduk (rice cake) cake, I know Paris Baguette has delicious looking ones.
Hope that helps!

Hello I'm living in korea and i am korean :)
Well, If you are a foreign student, why don't you give a gift according to your country's culture. Koreans like giving gifts, but since you are a foreign student, koreans would love to get gifts according to your culture, I guess i would :)

Fried dog. I think they prefer poodles but you should really ask first.
