I suggest that you join some sport club or association. You will soon get linked with many.
Go around university area where it's quite alive and dynamic, enter in a bar in the evening and I am sure you won't get alone long time as the Korean like to drink and are open to talk easily when they are in a group and they see a foreigner alone next to them. Maybe the next next week-end you will be sitting for them at the table for dinner or go to the mountain......

I lived in Mississppi and I also had situation like you guys.

I didn't had any friends. and..I hate parties. It is so uncomfortable when I talk with strangers.. etc..

Don't try too hard to make friends. I mean it's really hard to make friends...unless they have something in common with you. I got really closed to my friend who is american because she loved Korean food. I made her some Korean dishes and we kinda talked and became really good friend. I still talk to her . Try to find someone else that connects with you. There's always gotta be someone who has same taste in something!
Good luck!
