Seoul
The short answer
Bangladeshi citizens need an eVisa to enter South Korea. An eVisa has to be applied for and approved online before travelling to South Korea. This covers tourist and short business visits only, not work, study or residence, and a border officer makes the final decision on entry in every case. Entry rules change without notice, so the requirement is read again from the official source on a schedule and the date above is the last time that happened. The official source for this corridor is linked on this page and should be checked before booking. Where the destination government and the traveller's own government disagree, the destination government decides, because it is the one that writes the rule. Requirements can also differ by the route taken, the purpose of the trip and the length of stay, so read the official page for the exact case rather than the general one.
